As a professional development organization for those working in marketing and communications at community and technical colleges, NCMPR is committed to elevating the profession by building strong leaders in the areas of marketing, public relations, enrollment management and institutional advancement. As such, NCMPR has developed a new approach to the Leadership Institute focusing exclusively on developing the skills needed for communication professionals to advance in their careers and succeed as key members of their colleges’ administrative leadership teams.
The Leadership Institute includes instruction and mentoring over a period of 10 months (June 2021 through March 2022) with up to 15 other peers from community college marketing and PR. The format will include:
Note: Leadership Institute may be moved completely online if necessary.
Tuition and fees will cover the StrengthsFinder assessment, registration for the summer workshop, webinars, discussion groups, coaching sessions and registration for the national conference. Travel and lodging costs for the summer workshop and national conference are not included and are the responsibility of the participants. Travel and accommodation information will be shared at a later date.
Students will also receive a certificate of program completion upon successful student project presentation and 3 college credits (upon request).
Eligible participants must have worked at least one year in the marketing and communications field at a two-year community or technical college, have had some supervision and management experience (not necessarily in a community college), and have demonstrated commitment to personal and leadership growth, collaboration, and innovation.
