What is the VCCA?
The Virginia Community Colleges Association (VCCA) is your
professional organization. Membership is open to community college
personnel, students, alumni, board members, and friends of the VCCS.
Why should I join the VCCA?
The Virginia Community Colleges Association serves as a conduit
allowing us to network with each other and to keep abreast of changes in
education. In all of the 23 Virginia community colleges, our primary
function is the same - to educate those who walk through our doors. We
perform this task with pride, because that is who we are. Our jobs and
responsibilities are numerous, and we each have unique functions.
However, we need each other to accomplish the mission and vision to
which our colleges are dedicated.
We are fortunate to have the VCCA through which to educate ourselves.
After all, our respective colleges are places of higher learning - we
should not let our minds grow stagnant. Rejuvenation and continuing
education are important contributors toward fulfillment in the workplace.
We have many excellent opportunities through the VCCA, and you are
encouraged to take an active role in your own personal and professional
growth.

Students are invited to join the VCCA! Why is student support important?
The VCCA is the only state-wide Association that represents Virginia Community College
System students, alumni, employees, and those who think Virginia's community colleges are
important! The Association has many relevant goals that you may want to support:
1. To continue to promote community college education in Virginia and to work toward
improving the quality of our programs
2. To offer the opportunity for students to participate in state-wide professional development programs and to network with
other students and community college faculty, staff, and administrators across the
Commonwealth of Virginia
3. To offer a forum for individual and group presentation of ideas, opinions, and
issues and the opportunity to be heard
4. To engender an atmosphere of cooperation among students, faculty, and staff and to
cultivate the opportunity to effect changes
5. To INVOLVE community college students, alumni, and personnel in ACTIVE support of
the Association so that it may become an even more viable organization
VCCA Membership is coordinated through the VCCA Treasurer
and the VCCA Membership
Liaison. The College Contacts assist the Treasurer and Membership Liaison in conducting
the annual membership drive in March of each year. Contacts at each institution forward
the membership lists and dues to the VCCA Treasurer. When possible, the College
Contact will coordinate payment of membership dues with the College Business
Office to cut
one check payable to the VCCA Treasurer (rather than individual checks from individual
members).
A database is maintained by the VCCA Membership Liaison of members, date of membership,
and classification of the membership by college. This membership list is available to
college contacts upon request to the Membership Liaison.
Based on certified membership per institution, the VCCA Treasurer and the VCCA
Membership Liaison determine the number of voting delegates for each institution for
credentials at the Assembly of Delegates for the annual VCCA convention.
- Note:
- Individual and institutional dues must be current at the time of the VCCA annual
convention in order to provide voting credentials for all voting delegates to the
convention.
The VCCA membership year is July 1 to June 30. Membership brochures and applications
are available from the VCCA Membership Liaison ( see
the listings of Executive Board officers )
