<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">My name is Chance Stewart and if you have not heard, I have taken over as the Interim Executive Director for the Community and Technical College Leadership Development Association.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">At the end of August, Kati Hayes made the transition into retirement. I want to thank Kati on behalf of the Board and all the college members for her service for the past 16 years. Kati has been
a big part of the success of the CTCLDA and there are no words to express the thanks that Kati deserves for her service.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">As for me, I am a product of our CTC system. I completed my AA at Lower Columbia College as well as my BA in Interdisciplinary Studies from Eastern Washington University as a part of their University
Center. After that, I completed my MA in Organizational Leadership with a Concentration in Servant Leadership from Gonzaga University. I worked through multiple departments at Lower Columbia College and as a Graduate Research Assistant at Gonzaga. Most recently
I worked at Grays Harbor College as a Student Support Specialist for their TRiO Programs as well as teaching in leadership their BAS-OM program and corporate training programs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">My first focus for the next year is to provide as many opportunities for personal, professional, and leadership development as possible. My passion is to help others become the leaders they want
to be and the CTCLDA is a great forum for that. The first opportunities that we have is the Leadership Academy.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The Leadership Academy is a program that the CTCLDA board has been developing and is pleased to be offering. This program is set to take the place of the Leading from the Middle program that the
CTCLDA facilitated in previous years. More information will be sent out in the upcoming weeks.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">The CTCLDA is also very pleased to be providing an opportunity for our members to attend the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) Planning Institute Level I. This is a workshop that
is tailored to college employees that are a part of their colleges planning process (Institutional Research and Planning, Executives, Deans, Faculty, etc). There have already been CTC staff that have went through the workshops and found it valuable to their
strategic planning process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
