Strategic Plan

Convener's Message

For nearly 40 years, the Presidents' Roundtable (PRT) has provided a networks for leaders in higher education. In the beginning, the founder Dr. Chuck Green, sought to provide support for leaders with the sole purpose of improving the success of those leaders and the students they serve. I am pleased to say that we still adhere to that original mission. Annually, the PRT offers the Lakin Institute for Mentored Leadership and the Men of Character Student Leadership Institute. The question is, can we, or rather, should we do more? After conversations with our membership, the answer is yes! If we want different results, we have to do things differently.

The PRT contains powerful voices that can have a broader impact - this cat was impetus for revisiting the strategic direction of the PRT. Our approach for development of this strategic plan includes:

Revisiting the operation plan from 2016
Revisiting the operational plan from the 2019 retreat
Hosting listening sessions with our membership
Gathering additional input from the membership during the Fall 2020 Business Meeting

The results of these inputs have informed the strategic these, goals, objectives, and tactics for the PRT Strategic Plan 2021-2024. Our goals is to reimagine the organization and leverage its membership to create an intentional mission: strengthen and develop leaders in community colleges to transform the landscape of higher education. It will take all of us to achieve our mission. Our hope is that you will partner with the Executive Committee to implement this ambitious, but attainable strategic plan.
