Leadership and Administration
Arizona Western College has twelve locations across La Paz and Yuma counties that span over 10,000 square miles of the state and serve over 11,000 students annually. We're led by a five-member District Governing Board, College President, and five-member President's Cabinet.
The President’s Cabinet is guided by the College’s Vision, Mission, and Values, providing leadership designed to serve the needs of the College’s diverse student population, its employees, and the community at large.
Along with the Office of the President, administrative units participate in a shared governance model consisting of our Faculty Senate, Professional Administrative Association, and the Classified Employee Association.
