Georgia Highlands College has selected two new members to the Cobb Education Consortium (CEC) 2016-2018 Leadership Academy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Representing Georgia Highlands College for 2016-2018 are Amy Wise, veterans affairs coordinator, from the Cartersville site and Lynzee Patrick, enrollment management specialist, from the Marietta site.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They join current GHC representatives from the 2015-2017 class, Travice Baldwin Obas, professor of communication (GHC Faculty Representative), and Jillian Petro, advisor, (GHC Staff Representative), both from the Cartersville site.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Participants in the CEC Leadership Academy are chosen at the institutional level, usually through a competitive process. The leadership academy prepares employees at member institutions for greater leadership roles in the community and the institution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The first academy year provides participants the opportunity to network and experience a variety of seminars and presentations, retreats, school visits, governmental activities, guided readings and interaction with the CEOs. During the second year, members tackle a community based group project under the guidance of a committee of specialists, designed to further their professionalism and expertise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CEC consortium is composed of public educational entities in Cobb County, Georgia: Chattahoochee Technical College, Cobb County School District, Georgia Highlands College, Kennesaw State University, and Marietta City Schools. These CEC members enroll over 140,000 students from throughout their service areas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For nearly 25 years, the CEC has been dedicated to improving the quality of education among its member institutions. The consortium is a unique, solution-based collaborative with the participating schools, colleges and universities working together unselfishly for the benefit of their students.<\/p>\n
