President's Welcome On behalf of the American Student Association of Community Colleges (ASACC), and its leadership team, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our website. I believe you will find the site to be informative whether you are a current member or a prospective member who may have an interest in joining our organization. It is because of you that our organization exists. Recently, ASACC reaffirmed its commitment to its strategic plan which identifies three critical components of success for student leaders at community colleges. The three basic ideals that encompass an entire lifetime of Learning are leadership, citizenship, and advocacy. Student leaders must learn the basics of all three of these concepts in order to be successful as student government leaders and later as community, state and national leaders. This year, we are very excited to kick off our Fall 2011conference in Nashville, Tennessee on November 11th-13th. At this conference, we lay the ground work for involvement in issues that pertain to your state, local and national levels. ASACC will be hosting a service component that will provide members the opportunity to serve the community. Students attending this conference are given the opportunity to earn the LEAPS Student Leader Certification by attending general sessions, workshops and forums. As usual, our Spring 2012 conference will be held in Washington D.C. on March 17th-20th. Our priorities for the upcoming year are voted upon here. With the importance of community colleges recognized by the President Obama’s Administration, students have the opportunity to carve their voices into history through working with their legislators. For three days, Washington D.C. is full of student leaders carrying out meetings with their senators and congressmen. America was founded upon the belief that you should have a say in decisions that affect you and it is for this reason that the 12 million students that ASACC represents should have a say in the decisions that affect them. The power we have relies upon the unity that our colleges across the nation have. In this time of fear, doubt, and budget cuts our cause is more important than ever. The Student Leadership Team is always looking for students to join us. Whether you want to be a State or Regional Representative, we want you on our team.

Thank you for taking the time to view our website and reading this welcome letter. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon!! |
