The Professional Development Advisory Committee (PDAC) rose from two legal mandates. The first mandate, California Education Code,  (Allocation of Funds for Professional Development), requires an advisory committee of 鈥渁dministrators, faculty, staff representatives鈥� and is required to be eligible to receive professional development funding from the Chancellor鈥檚 Office. This section was subsequently updated by .

The second, California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Division 6, Chapter 6, Subchapter 8, Article 2,  (Flexible Calendar Program), requires an advisory Committee of 鈥渇aculty, students, administrators and other interested persons.鈥�

The committee was formed in Fall 2014 under the direction of the College Planning Council (CPC).
