American Association for Women in Community Colleges
As we all wind down and look to wrap up for the holiday break, on behalf of the American Association for Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) Executive Committee, I want to thank all members for your participation this semester. It was great to see returning members, catch up with them, and meet new members. For anyone unable to attend an event, we all know how hectic everyone’s day might be, so as we move into the 2025 year, the Executive Committee hopes to see more faces as we look to bring more programs your way!
Happy holidays! May your holidays be filled with cheer, and the new year bring you joyous memories!
Sincerely,
Yolanda D. Johnson
AAWCC President, MCC Chapter
I want to welcome you all back if you were on vacation, or even if you were not! Hopefully, you had an enjoyable and stress–free summer! If anyone has an inspiring, fun, or funny story about their summer that you would like to share with the membership, please feel free to submit this to AAWCC (aawccevents@monroecc.edu) so we can share with others on the AAWCC website.
I look forward to another exciting academic year! Last year, the AAWCC MCC Chapter had many wonderful programs, and collaborated with other on-campus organizations which lead to creating some outstanding events and lasting relationships between groups. Therefore, with that same mindset this year, our organization will focus on being “together as one” in providing service opportunities that emphasize the strengths that come from being unified rather than divided, as well as planning engaging programs that encourage conversations that focus on the topics that you as our members, feel are vital and important.
Hint, hint… as an AAWCC member, please never hesitate to send topics, ideas, or PD opportunities that you know of to the AAWCC Executive Committee (aawccevents@monroecc.edu). We are here to listen and see how we can support you.
As always, I want to extend a “HUGE” thank you to volunteers serving on the Executive and planning committees. You are an amazing group to work with, and without your support, creativity, and dedication, we would not be able to bring the variety of events, past, present, and future to fruition.
FYI: Don’t hesitate to encourage a fellow colleague and/or student to join AAWCC! We are still accepting AAWCC membership applications and would welcome all ( male or female) to the organization. Feel free to direct any interested individuals to the AAWCC website (https://sites.monroecc.edu/aawcc/) for more information regarding membership.
In closing, I wish to say again – welcome back! And as this will be my last year as the President of AAWCC – MCC Chapter, I thank you for this great opportunity!
Sincerely,
Yolanda D. Johnson
AAWCC President, MCC Chapter
