The Strategic Planning Committee
The Organizational Planning and Improvement Committee's (OPIC)
primary responsibilities are to lead the College's strategic
planning process and to evaluate the process's effectiveness of that
process. Its 26 members include the faculty area facilitators,
administrators, support staff, student representatives, and
representatives from several of the standing and special focus
committees. OPIC's role is coordinated with that of the Board of

goals, OPIC establishes the strategic objectives, determines
priorities based on the strategic goals, and prepares budgetary
recommendations to the administration and the Board of
Trustees.
OPIC links the pieces of the planning system. OPIC receives informative reports from various committees along with their respective recommendations that impact budgeting. OPIC considers their priority as related to the College's mission and goals and then makes its funding recommendations to administration, and ultimately to the Board of Trustees. OPIC's responsibilities are as follows (The complete committee charge is provided in Appendix E)
- Assess and set priorities for institutional improvements to be utilized for budget planning
- Review program review recommendations
