 American Association of Community Colleges
91st Annual Convention
April 9–12, 2011

Treasurer’s Report to the Membership

The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) finished the 2010 year with an operating loss
of approximately $240,000.This loss was somewhat less than the budgeted loss approved by the board
in the 2010 budget, which reflected anticipated extraordinary costs associated with hiring a new
president and CEO, as well as continuing costs related to transitioning AACC’s hard copy publications to
electronic delivery systems.

AACC’s investment portfolio includes approximately $6 million in long-term assets, as required by board
policy to maintain at least six months of operational costs in reserve. Following very positive investment
performances in 2009 and 2010, AACC has recovered nearly all of the dramatic losses incurred in its
portfolio in 2008.

During 2010, the association continued to strengthen its programmatic and operational capacity to
serve the membership. Substantial ongoing and new commitments occurred in the following
areas: improving electronic communication with members and other constituencies, expanding policy
research capacity and communication with policymakers and agencies, delivering new programs in
sustainability and workforce development, protecting the value of AD Nursing degrees, continuing
outreach to potential international students, and continuing the association’s involvement in the
Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count initiative.

In preparation for determining member dues assessments for 2011, it was apparent very early on that
dramatic increases in enrollment equivalents had the potential to increase dues significantly for a great
number of our colleges. In an attempt to mitigate this issue, AACC implemented use of a 3-year
averaging method that greatly reduced the impact of rising enrollment on dues increases for most of our
members. Over time, this new method should tend to smooth the impact of changing enrollment on
annual dues increases and decreases.

Your association continues to be in a strong financial position. The vast majority of its members continue
to perceive the value of their investment in AACC and the return that investment brings to institutions
and students. This support is underscored by the continuing response to the association’s request for
voluntary additional contributions during the 2011 membership campaign in support of the Nursing and
Allied Health Initiative.

The AACC board and staff are acutely aware of the financial and productivity pressures being placed
upon our members and their representatives here at AACC’s Annual Convention. In the coming year,
please be assured that we will continue to do everything we can to provide the services you expect
while conserving your financial resources.

Respectfully submitted,

Donald O. Brown, Treasurer, Chief Operations & Financial Officer

AN INNOVATIVE ONLINE PORTAL CONNECTING ONLINE STUDENTS WITH ONLINE PROGRAMS

A new initiative from the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) created to overcome the
lack of national online visibility and accessibility into the large number of high-quality, affordable online
education programs being offered by America’s community colleges. This innovative initiative, entitled
OnlineCommunityColleges.org (OCC), includes a plan to incubate a new and trusted single access portal for the
online program offerings of community colleges nationwide.

On an individual basis, community colleges cannot afford to effectively compete in online searches when up against the billions
of marketing dollars being spent by higher cost providers. However, collectively, OCC will provide prospective online students
with greater visibility and accessibility into a trusted national community college online education portal. The OCC portal will
include online workforce retraining programs, online job program links/listings, as well as certificate and associate degree
programs from the participating community colleges nationwide. The portal will enable students to search, evaluate, compare,
and select high quality affordable online programs from these colleges all in one convenient location.

The Thomas Lakin Institute for
Mentored Leadership is a national
professional development activity sponsored by the
Presidents’ Round Table of African - American CEOs
of Community Colleges. The Institute provides a
personal and professional development experience
for selected individuals who have demonstrated
a potential for expanded leadership roles in their
current or future responsibilities within community
colleges. Participants develop and strengthen
leadership competencies through participation in
the Institute. Upon completion of the Institute, each
mentee is given the option of being assigned to
a mentor to explore more in - depth analyses of
individual leadership skills.
Participants should be at key transitional points in
their careers. Experienced and renowned CEOs serve
as the Institute’s faculty. The Institute’s focus is to transform
good administrators into extraordinary leaders.
Who is Right for the Institute?
Created for community college administrators
with approximately five years of senior - level work
experience, the Institute serves individuals with
excellent prospects to serve in chief executive
leadership positions across the United States
and internationally. Participants represent diverse
senior - level administrative functions at community
colleges. Applicants should report to a vice
president, provost, president or chancellor. Those
who attend have the goal of assuming the position
of CEO.
Investment in the Future
By helping participants develop a broader vision for
professional and personal success, the Institute will
groom the next generation of executive leaders to
serve in community colleges.
Institute Curriculum
The Institute offers an integrated set of interactive workshops
(week - long) and individual (mentoring) components.
Topics include but are not limited to:
• Accreditation
• Building a Culture of Commitment
• Building Partnerships (Internal and External)
• Finances
• Institutional Leadership/Effectiveness
• Leadership and Diversity
• Leading in Stressful Times
• Presidential Search and Interview Process
• Board Relations
• Fundraising
The Lakin Institute
The Lakin Institute is heavily participation - oriented with an
emphasis on skill building and collaborative learning. Each
Mentee is expected to participate in a week - long intensive
program of study, which has a strong leadership component
encouraging participants to immediately apply knowledge,
principles and skills acquired or enhanced through the
program. The Institute is held annually and hosted by a
community college that is a member institution of the American
Association of Community Colleges.
The Mentor’s Role
The role of the Mentor is to serve as a guide, role model,
colleague and expert to the Mentee. The role will vary
depending upon the Mentee’s needs. The Mentor exposes
the Mentee to new and complex administrative tasks
and processes, teaches the Mentee how to learn new
administrative skills on one’s own campus, and introduces the
Mentee to higher - level management systems and practices.
Additionally, the Mentors frequently give advice to Mentees in

 News for Community Colleges from the National Science Foundation/DUE
                             April 2011 
The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) has several programs of particular significance
to two-year colleges:
Advanced Technological Education (ATE): This program promotes improvement in
technological education at the undergraduate and secondary school levels by supporting
curriculum development; the preparation and professional development of college faculty and secondary school
teachers; internships and field experiences for faculty, teachers, and students; and other activities. With an
emphasis on two-year colleges, the program focuses on the education of technicians for the high-technology fields
that drive our nation’s economy. The program also promotes articulation between programs at two-year colleges
and four-year colleges and universities—in particular between two-year and four-year programs for prospective
teachers and between two-year and four-year programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(with a focus on disciplines that have a strong technological foundation and lead to entry level technician positions
in a specific field). Fields supported by the ATE program include, but are not limited to, agricultural technology,
biotechnology, chemical technology, computer and information technology, electronics, environmental technology,
geographic information systems, manufacturing and engineering technology, marine technology, multimedia
technology, telecommunications, and transportation technology.
The ATE program supports proposals in three major tracks:
 ATE Projects develop or improve programs, adapt and implement exemplary materials, develop new
materials, support technical experiences for students and faculty, provide professional development for
college faculty and secondary school teachers, and support research on technical education. In the new
solicitation, there are expanded sets of opportunities for 1) addressing business and entrepreneurial skills
for students in technician education programs, 2) addressing leadership infrastructure for faculty, and 3)
conferences and workshops.
 ATE Centers provide comprehensive resources, serve as models for other projects, and act as regional or
national clearinghouses for educational materials and methods.
 Targeted Research on Technician Education explores employment trends, the changing role of
technicians in the workplace, and other topics that advance the knowledge base needed to make
technician education programs more effective and forward looking.

The ATE deadline for formal proposals is October 20, 2011. The optional preliminary proposal process has been
eliminated from the program. The new ATE program solicitation is available at http://www.nsf.gov/ate.
For information about previous awards, visit the ATE Web page at
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5464. Institutions are allowed to submit multiple
proposals.
NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM): This program makes
grants to institutions of higher education to support scholarships for academically talented, financially needy
students, enabling them to enter the workforce following completion of an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate
level degree in science and engineering disciplines. Grantee institutions are responsible for selecting scholarship
recipients, reporting demographic information about student scholars, and managing the S-STEM project at the
institution. The next proposal deadline for S-STEM is August 11, 2011. More information about S-STEM can be
found on the program's web site: http://nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5257
Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (TUES):
The FY 2010 solicitation is available at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10544/nsf10544.htm. Formerly known
as CCLI, the TUES program is for all types of educational institutions that serve undergraduates. TUES supports
efforts that conduct research on undergraduate STEM education, create new learning materials and teaching
strategies, develop faculty expertise, implement educational innovations, and assess student achievement.
Type 1: These projects typically will address one program component and involve a limited number of students
and faculty members at one academic institution. Projects with a broader scope or larger scale can be proposed
provided they can be done within the budget limitations. Proposed evaluation efforts should be informative,
based on the project's specific expected outcomes, and consistent with the scope of a Type 1 project. In order
to encourage collaboration between four-year colleges and universities and two-year colleges, projects
involving such collaboration may request an additional $50,000 over the $200K/project. The distribution
of effort and funds between the four-year institution and the community college should reflect a genuine
collaboration.
Type 2: These projects build on smaller-scale successful innovations or implementations, such as those
produced by Type 1 projects, and refine and test these on diverse users in several settings. Type 2 projects
 carry the development to a state where the results are conclusive so that successful products and processes
can be distributed widely or commercialized when appropriate. At a minimum, the innovation, if successful,
should be institutionalized at the participating colleges and universities (up to $600K/project).
Type 3: These projects combine established results and mature products from several components of the cyclic
model. These projects should include an explicit discussion of the results and evidence produced by the work
on which the proposed project is based. Such projects include a diversity of academic institutions and student
populations. Dissemination and outreach activities that have national impact are an especially important
element of Type 3 projects, as are the opportunities for faculty to learn how to best adapt project innovations to
the needs of their students and academic institutions (up to $5 million/project).
Central Resource: These projects will work to increase the capabilities of and communications among the
STEM education community and to increase and document the impact of TUES projects (up to $3 million,
negotiable).
The proposal deadline for Type 2, Type 3, and Central Resource Project proposals is January 14, 2011. The next
proposal deadline for Type 1 projects is in May, 2011. Information about the TUES program is available at
http://nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5741.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program (STEP): STEP seeks to
increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) receiving associate or baccalaureate
degrees in established or emerging fields within STEM. Type 1 proposals are solicited that provide for full
implementation efforts at academic institutions. Type 2 proposals are solicited that support educational research
projects on associate or baccalaureate degree attainment in STEM. The STEP solicitation is currently being
revised. Information about the program and the current solicitation is available at
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5488&org=DUE&sel_org=DUE&from=fund.
Math and Science Partnership (MSP): The MSP program responds to a growing national concern – the
educational performance of the U.S. children in mathematics and science. Through MSP, NSF awards
competitive, merit-based grants to teams composed of institutions of higher education, local K-12 school systems,
and their supporting partners. Information about the program and the current solicitation is available at
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5756.
Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship: The Noyce Scholarship program seeks to encourage talented STEM majors
and professionals to become K-12 and science teachers. The program provides funds to institutions of higher
education (with an extra $250K for partnerships with 2-year colleges) to support scholarships, stipends, and
academic programs for undergraduate STEM majors and post-baccalaureate students holding STEM degrees who
commit to teaching in high-need K-12 school districts. A new component of the program supports STEM
professionals who enroll as NSF Teaching Fellows in master’s degree programs leading to teacher certification by
providing academic courses, professional development, and salary supplements while they are fulfilling a four-year
teaching commitment in a high-need school district. This new component also supports the development of NSF
Master Teaching Fellows by providing professional development and salary supplements for exemplary math and
science teachers to become Master Teachers in high-need school districts. Information about the program and the
current solicitation is available at http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5733.
