MaxKnowledge and CCA Launch New Online Course:
Developing Effective Advisory and Governing Boards
Irvine, CA, June 19, 2006 - MaxKnowledge and Career College Association today announced the availability of a new online training course for career college professionals.
Course Description:
Developing Effective Advisory and Governing Boards
Vital advisory and governing boards create additional opportunities to enhance school operations. Well-prepared board members engaged in appropriate and timely activities can make a substantial contribution to a school's operational, financial and management success. Creating, managing and maintaining effective advisory and governing boards can be a demanding yet rewarding process. Board members have to be identified, recruited, and trained to be effective and to understand their role as individual contributors and as a member of a group of advisors. To gain maximum leverage from a board, members must also remain motivated and retain a concentrated focus on the school's mission, purposes and goals. This course will provide a blueprint, with accompanying checklists, for establishing and maintaining effective advisory and governing boards in a career school setting.
Course Facilitator:
Dr. Robert Roehrich, System Vice President

The online course is delivered in an asynchronous fashion and participants receive 4 hours of continuing education credit upon successful completion of the training. The course is available on a continuous enrollment basis on the MaxKnowledge website: www.maxknowledge.com/OP110.php.
