The National Council of State Association Chief Executives (NCSACE) is comprised generally of the Executive Directors in other community college state associations and includes approximately 25 active participants. The organization exists under the umbrella of the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT).
NCSACE meets twice annually in conjunction with the ACCT/AACC National Legislative Summit and the ACCT Congress. Meeting Agendas include state issues/operations updates, national and state experts who speak on a variety of matters, and member speakers on current state topics applicable/of interest to all. In recent years an Annual Retreat was included in our meeting schedule for two purposes: to delve in depth into issues/trends that impact our Member states with regard to our role in higher education and, to allow for sharing of operations/advocacy and other best practices.
