Membership required to access resources.
Being a part of the NCCCF network and member of its board of directors has been a priceless resource for me while serving as Executive Director at two California community college foundations – one independent and the other an auxiliary. I have developed lasting friendships, grown as a leader and advocate for our system, and have access to information and support that is invaluable.
