Two trustees flew to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday for the National Legislative Summit of the Association of Community College Trustees, which prompted a postponement of the March 9 committee meetings.
The committee meetings have been rescheduled during spring break on March 16.
The monthly regular board meeting is rescheduled for 6 p.m. March 23.
The Alamo Community College District board meetings have been postponed a week every month this year for various reasons.
District 5 trustee Roberto Zarate, chairman of the Audit, Budget and Finance Committee, and District 8 trustee Gary Beitzel, a member of that committee, will be at the Washington meeting through today.
Beitzel left on March 9, while Zarate left on Wednesday with both returning today.
On Thursday, the trustees were scheduled to meet with U.S. Reps. Lamar Smith, Charlie Gonzalez and Ciro Rodriguez.
Dr. Gene Sprague, District 6 trustee, said the conference was supposed to be scheduled for early February, but a massive snowstorm on the East Coast caused it to be rescheduled.
The blizzard caused the nation's capital to shut down the federal government for three days.
