Survey on Community College National Leadership/Service Organizations: A Preliminary Summary/Analysis of Responses.
Betts, Lee John
In 1990, a survey was conducted of selected professional staff at 139 community, junior, and technical colleges nationwide to determine which national leadership/service organizations (NL/SO's) the colleges were affiliated with, to identify the NL/SO programs and services utilized by the colleges, and to evaluate those services. The survey was sent to presidents of 62 randomly selected colleges and 77 community college professionals who had served in leadership roles in various NL/SO's or had been recognized by one or more of these organizations as leaders with national stature. Major findings of the study, based on responses from 52% of the presidents and 48% of the other professionals, were as follows: (1) on the average, colleges were affiliated with nine different NL/SO's; (2) 80% of the respondents rated the overall value of their institution's involvement in all NL/SO's to be significant or very significant; (3) five organizations or groups of organizations were mentioned by 54% of the respondents as having provided significant leadership or service to their colleges; (4) the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (AACJC) was identified by all respondents as having provided significant leadership, with 96% rating it one of the four most significant or valuable NL/SO's; and (5) 65% of the respondents indicated that their institution's involvement in their four top ranked NL/SO's was greater in 1990 than it had been in 1980. The survey instrument and survey response tables are attached.
