BOARD POLICY – NAMING RIGHTS

The committee members reviewed the new policy and did not have any objections.  The Naming Rights Policy was presented at the Administrative Cabinet meeting and it was suggested to add athletic fields to the list of naming opportunities.  Dr. Corcoran noted that the focus of this policy was on the Community Instructional Center project.  A question from a Board member was what the naming opportunities would be for donations of less than $25,000.  Dr. Corcoran suggested adding a statement to the policy that the College will recognize individuals and corporations making contributions of less than the minimum level ($25,000) in publications, in printed programs for special events, and in some circumstances, a plaque near the area that benefited from the donor’s gift.  The committee members were in agreement to recommend this policy to the full Board on July 19 with the additional statement recommended by Dr. Corcoran.  Dr. Corcoran also stated the administration will work with the Board attorney to draft a pledge agreement as a procedure to the policy.

ADJOURNMENT

It was moved by Ms. Olivero, seconded by Dr. Driscoll, and carried unanimously to adjourn the meeting at 5:09 p.m.
