CCATT will offer the next New Trustee Orientation for community college board members in Texas on Thursday, September 12th, 2024! The New Trustees Luncheon and afternoon Orientation are free to attend for trustees and college staff registered to participate in the 2024 CCATT Annual Conference.
As the only elected officials in higher education, trustees and regents across the state represent an important voice in matters of policy, resources, and governance for our colleges—and an important voice for the students that we educate.
This pre-conference session will be useful for recently elected community college board members and other leaders who guide the local orientation processes for new trustees. Presentations will focus on effective board governance, the board-CEO relationship, fiscal responsibilities, and key metrics for equity in student success.
Training for new board members is also available at the following events:
· Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) Leadership Congress: October 23 - 26, 2024 in Seattle, Washington
· Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) Annual Leadership Conference: December 12 – 13, 2024 in Austin, Texas
· CCATT New Trustee Orientation: January 2025, hybrid one-day event in Austin, Texas
