  • Financial oversight and accountability
  • Audits
  • Community college labor law
  • Contract law
  • Sexual violence on campus
  • Open Meetings Act (OMA)
  • Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)

To receive credit toward this requirement, training must be offered by the Illinois Community College Trustees Association or by a training provider approved by the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB).
