Comprised of representatives from member institutions, NCCI Committees serve an important role in coordinating the projects and activities of the Association as together we strive to grow your network. Serving on a committee is a great way for you to contribute to NCCI while enhancing your network and broadening your knowledge of change efforts in higher education.
The Annual Conference Committee designs the educational programming, networking and newcomer activities for the NCCI Conference each year. This includes selecting speakers for concurrent workshops and general sessions and coordinating various conference logistics. Committee members are expected to be able to attend the annual conference and meet once a month, then twice a month as the conference date approaches.

The NCCI Education Council is responsible for the comprehensive development of core competencies for the organization as well as the process by which these competencies can be reliably incorporated in all educational offerings. Projects include review and identification of core competencies, oversight of education and professional development offerings, and engagement in analysis of trends in higher education and potential new directions for NCCI member opportunities. The Education Council meets once a month (as a full committee) and once a quarter with representatives from each of the various committees engaged in education and professional development (about three hours per month).
