Staff Assembly

The purpose of the Staff Assembly is to participate in the governance of the Community College of Rhode Island. We develop policies and other recommendations related to the administrative and business work of the college and its staff members so that CCRI may effectively realize its Mission and Strategic Plan and advance the goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion across the organization and its activities. We also represent the collective interests of stakeholders and serve as a conduit of information sharing between college leadership and the college community about its administrative work.
