TVC CCC • Website: www.ccofapp.org

• The Community Colleges of Appalachia (CCA) is a voluntary association of public community colleges serving the common interests of member colleges and their communities through programs and services responsive to the unique cultural, geographic, and economic development challenges facing the region.

1. CCA supports the continued growth and development of member colleges.

2. CCA builds greater awareness among the general public, the higher education community, regional and national funding sources, and others of the vital contributions now being made by the community colleges of Appalachia in responding to the needs of their communities and of the potential for additional resources to expand and enhance these efforts.

3. CCA develops and implements an advancement agenda, reflecting the shared needs of member colleges. This agenda will guide the association in the development of major proposals for submission to regional and national funding sources.

Tennessee Valley CorridorCommunity Colleges Consortium

• The Tennessee Valley Corridor (TVC) footprint covers ten Congressional Districts in North Alabama, Eastern Kentucky, Western North Carolina, East and Middle Tennessee, and Southwest Virginia and is the home to more than 30 excellent community colleges serving largely rural populations.

• The Corridor is also home to world class federal government organizations and private sector companies that have been active in—and support—the TVC mission.

• We have a tremendous opportunity to leverage unique STEM resources to ensure that our member institutions’ education and workforce development efforts are unsurpassed and to help our communities thrive.

Tennessee Valley CorridorCommunity Colleges Consortium

• While some of our member educational institutions are conveniently located near the TVC’s resources and have gained from partnerships with them, a primary objective is to make sure that the Consortium act as an effective conduit for those colleges and communities that haven’t yet benefitted from having access to them.

Tennessee Valley CorridorCommunity Colleges Consortium

• Membership in the TVC Community College Consortium is open to community colleges that serve counties in the following Congressional Districts: – Alabama’s 4th District, – Alabama’s 5th District, – Kentucky’s 5th District, – North Carolina’s 11th District, – Tennessee’s 1st District, Tennessee’s 2nd District,

Tennessee’s 3rd District, Tennessee’s 4th District, Tennessee’s 6th District,

– Virginia’s 9th District.• www.ccc.tennvalleycorridor.org
