However, research indicates that the odds are nine to one that most individuals or organizations, even when faced with the dire need to change, won’t.
Purpose of the Assembly: The purpose of the 2008 Community College Futures Assembly is to assist your leadership team learn how to not only beat those odds, but continue to thrive and make a difference in the lives of the students and communities you serve. The Assembly serves as an independent policy “think tank” to 1) identify the critical issues facing the future of community colleges, and 2) recognize innovative trend-setting programs your college can replicate.
Keynote Speaker: Alan Deutschman, Author of Change or Die and Executive Director of Unboundary, will discuss his breakthrough research and proven ideas on how any individual or organization can achieve lasting, revolutionary change. His research comes from leaders in science, business, and medicine.
