Council Leaders
Many Community Colleges offer fee-based, not-for-credit programs, known as community services, community education or extension. The Community Education Council supports ACCE members by addressing issues such as: staffing, recruiting instructors, cost analysis and recovery, marketing, brochure development, new course development, web pages, registration, relationships with credit programs, and legislation affecting delivery of services.
