Dear AACC Colleagues,

As members of the CampusWorks Executive Advisory Board, we are looking forward to meeting with many of you at this year’s AACC conference in Seattle. It is our honor to represent this creative and forward-thinking organization, which continues to be selected by community college administrators as their first choice for technology management and IT staff augmentation services.

CampusWorks is privileged to have formed many new IT partnerships following highly competitive evaluations. The organization also continues to provide outstanding service to its long-term clients and—in significant votes of confidence—a number of these colleges have signed multi-year extensions, including Bunker Hill Community College (15 years) and Community College of Baltimore County (five years).

Having served in leadership positions for community colleges for many years, and knowing the constant change of the technology field, we truly appreciate the magnitude of these contract extensions. The administrations at these colleges must have extreme confidence and satisfaction in the relationships—especially for such a crucial role as technology leadership. This commitment indicates a superior level of performance, cost effectiveness, and a trust that is unmatched in higher education.

As part of our ongoing quality assurance role as members of the Executive Advisory Board, we continually speak with the company's client presidents, many of whom are attending AACC and are listed below. As a result of these conversations, we are extremely impressed with the overall satisfaction that they have in CampusWorks’ visionary leadership and cadre of project-level support specialists—especially in meeting budget demands in today’s difficult economic times.

• Baltimore City Community College, MD, President Carolane Williams
• Bunker Hill Community College, MA, President Mary Fifield
• Coconino Community College, AZ, President Leah Bornstein
• College of the Mainland, TX, President Michael Elam
• Collin County Community College District, TX, President Cary Israel
• Community College of Baltimore County, MD, President Sandra Kurtinitis
• Dallas County Community College District, TX, Chancellor Wright Lassiter
• Grand Rapids Community College, MI, President Steve Ender
• Heartland Community College, IL, President Jonathan Astroth
• Houston Community College System, TX, former Interim Chancellor Norm Nielsen
• Ivy Tech Community College System, IN, President Tom Snyder
• Imperial Valley College, CA, President Ed Gould
• Metropolitan Community College, MO, Chancellor Jackie Snyder
• Miami Dade College, FL, Provost Karl Herleman
• Middlesex Community College, MA, President Carole Cowan
• Minnesota State Colleges & Universities, MN, Chancellor James McCormick
• Northern Essex Community College, MA, President David Hartleb
  

We encourage you to speak with the CEOs from one or more of these client institutions to hear firsthand about the caliber of technology leadership, the cost savings achieved, and client satisfaction that CampusWorks provides. CampusWorks has a large cadre of talented and highly experienced chief information officers and technology specialists who could be most beneficial to your institution.

If you are contemplating augmenting your current IT leadership and/or are considering major changes to your IT infrastructure and systems, we would like to invite you to discuss with us how CampusWorks IT experts have helped to transform the IT enterprise at each of these client colleges and how this success could be replicated at your institution. We also can address a particular technology challenge or significant IT vulnerability your college is facing.

We hope these examples demonstrate CampusWorks’ strong record of success. If you are interested in meeting with or talking to a CampusWorks client president who is attending AACC, a CampusWorks senior executive, or an Executive Advisory Board member please call or send an email, and we will arrange for a meeting or phone call. We look forward to seeing all of our colleagues at this year’s AACC Conference.

Sincerely,

Larry Tyree, Norm Nielsen and David Rutledge
