IACCT Annual Conference Planning

Welcome! This newly developed online training manual will serve as a guide for host community colleges. We recognize and celebrate that each community college within the state is unique and we hope this resource will prove to be a helpful tool in showcasing all you have to offer.

As you use this resource, please feel free to share your knowledge and experience with others. We can all learn from one another’s successes and challenges. The shared documents library contains samples of various planning documents for you to utilize and modify.

The IACCT Annual Conference is the largest gathering of trustees and staff each year.  This Conference serves as an opportunity to provide education of IACCT members and to enhance relationships through networking between Iowa’s 15 Community Colleges. The creation and maintenance of an online planning resource for the IACCT Annual Conference provides a wonderful resource to provide continuity and support to the host community college.  By locating the former paper manuals online, it saves time and expense as well as supports the sustainability of an environmentally conscious process. This user-friendly tool will allow for seamless planning from year to year, as well as an opportunity for those lessons learned and tips for success to be passed on to each subsequent host community college to effectively plan the conference.

The ultimate benefit of the IACCT Annual Conference online planning tool is that it will provide opportunities for many to visit and browse the IACCT web site.  Spending time online to learn about IACCT and Iowa’s 15 Community Colleges is time well spent.

This conference planning manual is a perfect showcase of what the new IACCT website is designed to accomplish: provide all of our fifteen colleges with a flexible format to share knowledge and best practices with each other to more efficiently accomplish their shared mission. The technology itself is just a tool. It's the sharing of knowledge that makes that technology powerful.
