Suzette Senn, 2016 conference chair, and Emily Welty, CCBO managing director, have been working eagerly on the 2016 CCBO Annual Conference.  The conference theme is Today’s Plan, Tomorrow’s Future.  General session speakers include Dr. Ronald Rhames, President of Midlands Technical College, Dr. Bryan Albrecht, President of Gateway Technical College, and Chad Porter, Leadership Specialist. Conference sessions cover a broad range of topics to include, but not limited to, Succession Planning, Institutional Sustainability, Budgeting Best Practices, Enrollment, IT Adaptability, and Staff Management.

CCBO will be offering, as an additional fee, Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival, one of Walt Disney World’s most popular annual events. It’s Disney’s way of celebrating the diverse culinary traditions around the globe.  Attendees will enjoy wine and food pairing, live music, and an afternoon of relaxed fun. In addition, a purchased ticket through CCBO provides group seating for the Eat to the Beat concert on Monday, Sept. 26.

 

Mark your calendars to attend the conference in September, I look forward to seeing you there!
