Board Member Application

The purpose of the MTCC Foundation is to promote, develop, and encourage public support of the programs, faculty, and facilities of McDowell Technical Community College. The Foundation seeks and raises funds and gifts that will advance the Mission and Vision of the College. The MTCC Foundation Board of Directors provides leadership for the Foundation and assists in the planning and execution of fundraising programs that benefit MTCC.

MTCC enriches our community with access to student-centered, affordable, high-quality, lifelong learning opportunities that promote workforce development.

We learn and grow while focusing on individuals, our community, and our institution. Maintaining a strong board requires that prospective board members understand what is expected from each director.
