— The ACCS Financial Leadership Academy recently graduated its second cohort of financial leadership professionals across Alabama’s community colleges. Fourteen participants, who were selected by their colleges’ chief financial officers and presidents, completed the Academy last week. Since last year, more than 25 college employees have graduated.
The Financial Leadership Academy was developed to provide professional development and expert resources to current and future fiscal leaders across the Alabama Community College System. Graduates learn about restricted grants, financial aid, federal and state programs, capital project, bid laws and contracts, and several other factors that enhance their knowledge of the colleges’ financial operations.
The graduates in Cohort 2 are the following: Tanesha Richburg, Alabama Technology Network; Melissa Estes and Vanessa Looney, Calhoun Community College; Andrea Burks, Central Alabama Community College; Christer Sanks, Chattahoochee Valley State Community College; Katrina Harris, Drake State Community and Technical College; Keli Feely, 澳门彩开奖历史记录; Kasim Alzoubi, Jefferson State Community College; Alexis Robinson, Lawson State Community College; Candice Bond, Shelton State Community College; Aleysha Konesky, Trenholm State Community College; Mary Helen Ingram, Wallace State Community College; and Judy Jordan and Vickie Bell, Wallace Community College Selma.
