On
behalf of the Executive Committee, welcome to the Virginia Community
Colleges Association. The upcoming conference to be held in Williamsburg,
September 29-October 1, 2011 will carry the theme
Achieve 2015: An Education
Revolution. The definition of revolution is, “a drastic and
far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving.” This year will
bring about change as we embrace the challenges set by our Chancellor, Dr.
DuBois, with the Achieve 2015 initiative. The mission of the
VCCA is to provide
professional development opportunities which enhance the vision of the
Virginia Community Colleges System as well as each of our respective
colleges.
VCCA
is an organization of likeminded individuals who believe in the value of
higher education and the value that educated people bring to their
colleges, communities, and to the state as a whole. Membership is open to
all Virginia community college administrators, faculty, classified staff,
part-time employees, students, alumni, board members or just friends of
Virginia’s community colleges.
To arm
yourself for the upcoming revolution, mark your calendars today to attend
the 29th Annual VCCA
Conference to be held at the Williamsburg Marriott, September 29-October
1. Concurrent sessions, workshops,
commission meetings, networking, and conferences are a few of the benefits
of becoming a member of the VCCA.
This is your opportunity to be a voice for your commission and college;
become involved as a college contact and/or participate in one of the six
commission meetings: Black Concerns, Faculty/Instructional Affairs,
Learning Resources, Public Relations and Marketing, Student Services, and
Support Staff.
Let’s
make this a year to remember by recruiting others to join and move forward
with the mission of the VCCA!
The cost to join is minimal; $15 for faculty, adjunct faculty, and support
staff, $5 for students, and $5 for associate members. To learn more about
the VCCA, check out our

Please
renew your membership and encourage members of your college to join today!
I look forward to seeing everyone in Williamsburg, VA on September 29th.
