When Macomb Community College was created by the residents of the County in 1954, the incorporating statute provided for the election of a six member Board of Trustees. That number was increased to seven by an act of the State Legislature in 1966.

Trustees are elected county-wide and serve six year terms without pay. Their terms of office are alternated in a manner that guarantees continuity of membership of at least four trustees from year to year. Vacancies are filled, as they occur, by Board appointment from volunteers in the community. Board members elect their own officers.

The Board's responsibility includes appointing a president, setting fiscal and operating policy, and making decisions that determine the long and short-range direction of the College.
