Governance

What is Governance?

CEI is your community campus! We make our decisions with your help. Explore our governance pages to see how.

You are invited to meet President Aman and see his vision for this college.

Our Board of Trustees is duly elected by Bonneville County voters, and the Board ensures the college always represents to our community’s values and meets its needs.

The President leads with the help and expertise of his President’s Advisory Council, a formidable team of visionary content experts. Together, this administrative team leads our participatory governance structure, which shows how college leadership continually invites our students, faculty, staff, and community to shape the priorities and processes of our campus.

CEI is a fully accredited institution, and many of our programs have external accreditation, too.

CEI safeguards your investment here. The finance page explains our funding sources and makes our sound accounting practices transparent.

President's Advisory Council (PAC)

The President utilizes the guidance and support of the President’s Advisory Council (PAC) to manage the day-to-day operations of the college and its futuring strategy. PAC uses CEI's mission and core themes to shape every practice, and they ensure that focus is continued in all the college’s programs and services. PAC fosters a culture of communication and engagement among college leadership, and they promote partnership and innovation throughout CEI.

Planning for our Future

The majority of the buildings at CEI are over 40 years old. They are inadequate for today’s technology-based careers. CEI is the only institution in Idaho without a Career and Technical Education (CTE) building. Programs and Curriculum will include Cyber, ESTEC (Energy Systems), Nuclear Technician, Computer Network Technician, Software/Web, Radiation Safety, Agri-Tech, Engineering Technician, GIS Modeling/Virtual Reality, Machine Tool Technology/Advanced Manufacturing, Battery, and Solar.
