Boards are a new contractual service that is now available.
These workshops provide a forum for examining how a college is approaching change and its capacity to move forward, and for creating a process for change that fits the institutional culture. The first cohort of the Strategic Leadership Forum is completing its first year of sessions which focused on future trends, demographic and economic issues and living in a networked society. Participants from this cohort of 10 community colleges come together on a scheduled basis throughout the year to address emerging organizational and leadership issues. Executive teams from participating institutions plan and design the program. The Forums are an approach to leader preparation constructed on the premise that learning best occurs when leaders are exposed to new information and challenging ideas in the company of highly motivated colleagues.
