Steering Committee
Purpose
The primary purpose of the Bitterroot College Program (BCP) Steering Committee is to develop an innovative model for the delivery of responsive and sustainable adult and higher education opportunity to the residents of Ravalli County, Montana. The committee is charged with completing a master plan for the new model by January 2011.
In July 2010 the BCP Steering Committee released a comprehensive needs assessment document researched and written by Maas Companies. The needs assessment document is to be used to guide educational planning with respect to the BCP master plan.
- BCP Needs Assessment (research and written by Maas Companies)
- BCP Needs Assessment - report highlights (narrated slide show by Maas Companies)
The secondary purpose of the BCP Steering Committee is to provide guidance and oversight of the University of Montana's operations of the Bitterroot College Program during the committee's planning year.
Members
The BCP Steering Committee has 14 voting members—nine local representatives, three University of Montana (UM) representatives, one Flathead Valley Community College (FVCC) representative, and one Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education (OCHE) representative. Notably, of the nine local representatives, there are two pairs of individuals who share representation, e.g., there are two UM-COT student representatives who share one committee vote, and there are two MSU Extension representatives who share one committee vote.
