The cornerstone of this success lies within the leadership and guidance of the entire College community. The development of the EMP was a collaborative effort with broad engagement of the College community. The Educational Master Plan Steering Committee was a shared governance committee that set the framework for an inclusive process in the development of this plan. The EMP/Accreditation Faculty Based Task Team integrated the ideas, strategies, suggestions, and data gathered throughout the process to bring us the Signature Goals and the Project 90 Achievement Areas. With the leadership of the Board of Trustees and the work of both of these groups the Educational Master Plan will guide PCC to a truly global future. Board of Trustees William E.
