Communicating with You is the Board’s Ambition
It’s unanimous. The Lane Community College Board of Education wants your participation!
Our charge as elected officials is to provide the programs and services that will best serve your needs. But what are those needs? Make sure we know. Contact us through the President’s Office, attend one of our monthly meetings, or drop us a line online at 2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/presoffc/board.
Last year, we held a series of Community Conversations throughout the district, from Fern Ridge to Oakridge, and learned a lot.
Affordability and accessibility were top concerns. So was career training, particularly in health care. Our comprehensive mission is essential. Partnerships offer good solutions. We need to rev up fundraising and offer more distance learning.
We’ll explore those and other topics in more depth at quarterly conversations this year with groups such as K-12 districts and the business community.
Help us understand your needs, and please, stay in touch.
—Susie Johnston, Chair, Lane Community CollegeBoard of Education
