Leadership & Governance

CFOT Board of Governance
The Board of Governance is the educational authority for the College for Officer Training at Crestmont, an educational unit of The Salvation Army, a California corporation (the Western Territory of The Salvation Army in the United States), and is responsible for the oversight of education and training of The Salvation Army’s candidates for officership, including the approval of the liberal arts/ministry curriculum and the quality of the training and practical field experience. The Board in its authority is obligated to carry out its oversight of the College by adhering to The Salvation Army Western Territory policies and procedures in its educational, accreditation, and administrative duties as well as standards imposed by our external accrediting body.

The Board is responsible for the quality, integrity, and financial stability of the College, and for ensuring the religious and moral content of the programs and courses of study are consistent with Salvation Army beliefs and principles and are congruent with the standards of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC).
