Budget Advisory Council Members Selected
 The Hocking College Budget Advisory Council (BAC) is an advisory body to the President on current and multi-year budget issues, funding priorities and policies having a financial impact. The BAC promises to benefit both the College and its own members. It will improve transparency of our financial decision-making, help the College to build better budgets from a broader base of knowledge, and allow its members to view the College in a very different way, potentially leading some members to consider taking on other roles in the College's future.
The BAC is chaired by the Vice President of Financial Services, with the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs/Provost and the Interim Vice President of Administrative Services serving as Vice-Chairs. Council members are appointed by the President and are expected to serve as representatives of the entire College community as they conduct Council business. They communicate to and provide feedback from the campus on matters that impact the long-term financial health of the institution.
