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 website at http://www.vccaedu.org/.

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.

VCCA President
