NORTH/FAR NORTH REGIONAL CONSORTIA

HISTORY OF THE CONSORTIA

• Prior to 1994, • Deans/Directors of vocational education met together to facilitate

the development and implementation of vocational programs at the community colleges

• California Community College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) assigned subject matter specialists to provide technical assistance related to specific industry funded projects such as Health, Public Safety, Technology, etc.

• Each region met on an “as needed basis and was hosted by a different Dean each meeting”.

• No statewide continuity of meeting agendas, recorded minutes, or expected goals/objectives.

• In order to obtain feedback from the field and improve the communication between the colleges and the Chancellor’s Office, as well as among regional colleges, the CCCCO Vice Chancellor at that time developed the Regional Consortia Model.
