A member of the public who wishes to present any matter pertaining to Howard Community College to the Board of Trustees must individually submit a written request to the secretary/treasurer of the board at president@howardcc.edu at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled public meeting for review and response to the submission. A request submitted on someone else’s behalf will not be accepted. In compliance with Maryland SB 813, the board will decide if the matter will be presented at the public meeting. If presented, the board will listen to the presentation but will not respond at that time. The board, in recognition of the need to complete its business within reasonable time, will limit the presentation to three minutes and reserves the right to terminate a presentation at any time.
In emergency situations, the board may, by majority vote, give visitors who have not presented a written request in advance the opportunity to present to the board in any regular public meeting.
