Attention, trustees! ACCT has partnered with the Center for the Study of Community Colleges to conduct a comprehensive survey of community college trustees. This survey will yield important insights into who serves on community college boards, what their greatest priorities are, what their greatest challenges are, and much more, which will inform the services and resources we provide. Please complete the survey and encourage everyone on your board to take the survey. College presidents/chancellors and professional board staff, you can help by encouraging your boards to complete the survey. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes. Thank you in advance!

🆕Hey, that's a familiar theme I spy on the cover of Association of Community College Trustees's Fall 2024 Magazine issue! 📝I wrote about what New America has been learning about how #communitycollege #trustees can better tether their institutions to regional innovation #ecosystems, technology-based economic development, and #emergingtechnology #workforce training. 🔉The magazine issue builds on a #podcast episode from this April highlighting how #federalinvestments from the #CHIPSAct have created new opportunities via National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Economic Development Administration, and beyond to build the capacity of community colleges and #workforce partnerships for the #innovationeconomy: https://lnkd.in/e8sdUmMc ⚖Community college pathways are critical to the innovation economy and to ensure that emerging #techhubs of the future looks more like America than Silicon Valley does today. Now is the time to align tech and talent development. Thanks to MiraCosta College Board Chair Frank Merchant, Miami Dade College Trustee Roberto Alonso, and Harper College's Board Chair Bill Kelley for taking the time to interview with me.
