1600 Strong
Membership Campaign:
Be the One
|
Over the next two years, ACCCA will add an additional 400 members, one colleague at a time. A bigger, better ACCCA means more connections, more opportunities, and more resources to enhance the benefits and programs you already enjoy.
What we know from our 45 year history is that people join because members share their ACCCA story and invite their colleagues.

Be the One that invites a colleague and changes a career?

ACCCA Summer Programs Continue to Thrive
|
|
At ACCCA, summer means outstanding professional development that is
designed by administrators, for administrators
! Our traditional summer programs—
Admin 101
,
Admin 201
and the
Great Deans
program—served over 140 participants this summer and addressed their need for skills development curriculum and leadership training.
Find out about them here.
These programs are curated to train current and future management leaders in the California
community colleges in core technical and leadership skills. Applicants for ACCCA programs are thoroughly vetted to ensure the training meets their level of need.
Every effort is made to accommodate all applications, however, demand is high for each of these programs, and capacity is limited to maximize the effectiveness of the training.
If you are interested in any of the programs detailed below, go to the ACCCA web site to access the program’s
“interest list”
which is available year round to sign up for
advance notification
of open enrollment for the program you select. This allows you the opportunity to decide if the timing or content of the program you’re interested in works for you
before general promotions for that program are released
to the system.

Highlights from 2019 Summer Programs
|
|
Administration 101
July 21-25, 2019
in Irvine, CA
Now in its 19
th
year, the ACCCA Admin 101 program has become the essential training program for administrators new to their positions and new to the state.

Administration 201: Transformational Leadership Program July 14-18, 2019

ACHRO/EEO—the Human Resource Professionals Organization for California Community Colleges
|
California community college chief human resource officers, and HR/EEO personnel throughout the system, have relied on ACHRO to be the strong and vibrant coalition they need to represent their specific interests for decades. ACHRO-EEO is also a powerful ally of ACCCA, and one that we look to for guidance in matters of policy and process, employer/employee relations and ensuring equity and diversity in hiring.
ACHRO leads the way in training specifically for HR personnel to ensure that the system’s faculty, administrators and staff are ethically and fairly supported in the work they do for our students every day.

Which ACCCA membership benefit consistently ranks #1 on the member survey year after year?
|
Before we reveal the answer, are you a member who takes the survey and thinks, “
I had no idea I got all these benefits included in my ACCCA membership!”? Many people receive so much information when they first join ACCCA they overlook how to access our incredible benefits. In each newsletter issue, we will highlight a specific benefit, so you can start making the most of your membership today.
Now for the answer— the #1 ranking benefit as voted by members in our annual survey—
your $1 million in professional liability insurance protection. These benefits are courtesy of our affiliation with ACSA, the Association of California School Administrators and their relationship with Keenan and SASS (School Administrators Special Services.) Remember, all of these benefits are
included in your membership.
