upcoming trustee leadership seminars

CCATT looks forward to hosting Trustee Leadership Seminars in each of the six TACC regions, with a special focus on best practices for data-informed governance as it relates to student engagement and regional workforce needs. These leadership seminars are open to any trustee from around the state but will be located at colleges in each region to mitigate travel barriers.
