Web Governance

Intent

The intent of the Web Governance Committee (WGC) is to lead and advise on the management of all ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, Bakersfield (ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥) web properties to ensure our web sites are in line with the ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ message, visual and brand identity, and meet all compliance requirements set forth by the California State University, ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥, State, and Federal laws. Furthermore, work with the Mobile App Committee (MAC) to ensure that mobile application initiatives also conform to our branding and messaging standards.

The WGC will work cooperatively with the campus community to develop strategic and tactical plans to facilitate and coordinate the delivery of our web sites, presence, branding, strategic web usage, projects, and services.
