Board Retreats and Workshops

Customized retreats and workshops to help trustees effectively carry out their responsibilities in an increasingly complex and litigious world.

ACCT offers customized retreats and workshops to help trustees effectively carry out their responsibilities in an increasingly complex and litigious world. ACCT is committed to assisting boards by enhancing their capability to provide effective lay governance and leadership to strengthen the capacity of community colleges to achieve their mission on behalf of their communities.

Retreats can strengthen communication and understanding among board members, which can lead to a stronger, more effective working group. When a board engages in training and professional development it is also a model for the rest of the institution.
