<p class="MsoNormal">Dear members of our college system community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Selecting the next executive director of the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges will be a pivotal moment for our college system and the students we serve. Your input is extremely valuable to us as we seek the right candidate
for this important role. Please join us at a listening session to let us know what qualities and experiences you would like to see in the next executive director. Your feedback will help
<a href="https://www.academicsearch.org/">Academic Search</a>, the consultants helping us with the search process, create a job profile and guide meaningful conversations with potential candidates. The profile will include professional qualifications, details
about SBCTC, an overview of the community and technical college system — including our mission, values, and strategies — and information about what it is like to live and work in Olympia.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the listening sessions, participants will be asked four open-ended questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">What makes SBCTC and Washington’s community and technical college system great…what are the points of pride a potential applicant should know?
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">What are the attributes, characteristics, values, and experiences that you would like to see in the next executive director? <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">From your perspective, what are the three highest priorities for the incoming executive director?
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">From your perspective, what are the top three challenges the incoming executive director will face?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join the session that fits your role or responsibility within the system. There will also be an open session for anyone to join in case they are unable to join their assigned group.
