Leadership Academy
"I cannot say enough about CCBO and the Leadership Academy. This was my first year attending and I had an amazing experience! The sessions were completely informative and relevant to the various issues we face as Business Officers. The conversations with past presidents were invaluable. I also connected with my mentor while at the conference and our relationship is off to an incredible start. I look forward to an extremely rewarding experience as we strengthen our professional connection. Thanks for a great conference CCBO...I’m looking forward to next year!!!!! "

Education
"Can you hear me now?"......"Can you hear me now?" That often-repeated phrase from a cellular phone commercial goes through my head as I pen my first President’s Corner. Why? Because I can’t see you and you can’t see me. But somehow, we are connected – you and me, you and CCBO, CCBO and our business partners...we are all connected. In the community college world, connectivity counts.

At each of our colleges, the various aspects of our business operations provide the infrastructure for connectivity. We can look at ourselves as Avenues of Accounting, Parkways for Purchases, Conduits for Cash Flow, Freeways for Facilities, Corridors of Convergent Technologies, Wagon Wheels of Wages, Financial Networks and Highways for Human Resources. In short, we are the Runways for Resources.

I recently attended my first CCBO conference in Orlando at the Disney Yacht Club and it was an excellent conference. As a newcomer to CCBO I was impressed with the leadership of CCBO and the vision they shared for community colleges and the people whose lives they affect. I enjoyed and appreciated all the members that I had the privilege to talk with and who helped me understand their support and affection for CCBO. The business partners that I met all expressed a strong support for community colleges and really valued the opportunity to be at the conference. The CCBO staff deserves a shout out for the great job that they did in carrying out the conference and setting a high standard for all future conferences
