State Board of Community Colleges to present its highest honor

 

RALEIGH –  The State Board of Community Colleges will present its most prestigious award, the I. E. Ready,  at the Day of Recognition Awards Luncheon at noon on Friday, November 17, at the RBC Center.  The State Board will also honor the President of the Year, Instructor of the Year, Staff Person of the Year, and all attending North Carolina Community College System 2005-06 retirees.

 

This year marks the first presentation of the North Carolina Community College Distinguished Partners for Excellence Award. The State Board of Community Colleges established the award last November to recognize an exemplary employer, business, or industry group that has demonstrated decisive involvement and a firm commitment to the professional development of its employees and/or to the development of North Carolina's workforce through its partnership efforts with the North Carolina Community College System.  Two companies located in North Carolina will receive the honor on Friday.

 

The Friday DOR Luncheon culminates two days of State Board meetings in the Caswell Building that begin with a briefing on new Ethics and Lobbying laws to State Board members, community college presidents, System Office executives, and other interested parties.

 

Items of interest on the State Board agenda include consideration of:

• A new president for Randolph Community College
  A final budget document for presentation to Governor Easley
• The allocation of $5 million in grants to community colleges for Allied Health enhancements
• The allocation of $15 million in grants to community colleges for facilities and equipment
• The allocation of $115 thousand in financial assistance to community college faculty pursuing bachelor’s degrees
• The distribution of reserve funds to assist community colleges that have experienced more than 5% growth in the Fall semester over enrollment of the previous year.

 

The complete agenda follows.
