Little Big Audit Committee

The Community College of Rhode Island is looking for opportunities to improve its operations, generate additional revenue and to realize cost savings. The Little "Big Audit" Committee was formed because President Sepe truly believes that many people have ideas to improve CCRI's operations. Many of these improvements would help the College to better serve the students.

The charge of the committee is to perform a self-assessment of CCRI's operations and to make recommendations to the President's Council to adopt changes in our operations that would increase revenues, decrease costs or make particular areas run in a more efficient and effective manner.

The committee is made up of individuals that are representative of the functional areas and the variety of positions on our campuses. A list of committee members appears on the left and you are encouraged to contact any member of the committee to talk about your ideas. The committee will be operational for the 2003-2004 year and then will be evaluated for continuation.
