The Purpose
The Academy provides an opportunity for current and aspiring community
college Business Officers to educate themselves on the various intricacies
of Chief Business Officer leadership. The Academy’s goal is to provide
participants with the knowledge of the theories and practice of leadership
within a community college as an institution of higher education. The
Academy is designed to train the next generation of Chief Business Officers
and to provide current leaders with updated information on national issues
facing community colleges.
The Participants
Participants come from various departments and positions within community
colleges. The Academy is open to all potential and current leaders. Applicants
should have a background in some area of community college administration;
however, consideration will be given to those who do not have any administrative
experience. Academy participants to do not need to be CCBO members to
participate. International applications are welcome.
The Program
The program is designed to span one year, beginning and ending with the
CCBO Annual International Conferences. Nearly 35 hours of programming,
split between two conferences, is created for participants to become immersed
in discussions and activities related to leadership skills, current community
college issues, and relevant topics. Please note there is a mid-year project that all participants are required to complete.

The Leadership Academy was extremely helpful in my transition from Corporate to Higher Education especially in the Public sector. The speakers provided great insight on what it takes to be a leader in this environment; however I particularly enjoyed networking with peers as we collaborated all year on the 2nd year small group project.

Mentoring
Along with expert instructional leadership, each student is assigned a
yearlong mentor. The mentors, drawn from past and present CCBO leadership,
offer experiences which serve to better prepare Academy students for future
issues which they may face within the community college and also offer
students a contact person with whom they can feel comfortable asking for
and receiving advice.
Format
The format for the Academy requires that all students arrive two days
prior to the CCBO Annual Conference. These two days are designed for students
to have full immersion in the curriculum of the Academy. All students
are expected to attend the CCBO Annual Conference following the Academy
sessions. This same timeline will occur for the subsequent year.
