The college's Planning Advisory Council (PAC) consists of 22 representatives of all areas of the college community, including the current chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Barbara Charnock. The council meets once or twice monthly during the academic year. In the fall, the PAC serves as the college's budget committee.

As the advisory board for collegewide planning activities, the PAC hears a number of presentations during the year. While PAC meetings are open to the college community, in an effort to provide maximum access all presentations made to the council are posted on the college website. The following PowerPoint files are available at www.carrollcc.edu/ir/reports:
