Fall 2022 Community Connection

Transitions...

Autumn is upon us in its vibrant colors. This year, after a dry season, the colors are especially bright, almost electric. And perhaps, by the time you read this, the radiant colors will have fallen from the trees in nature’s way of showing us how beautiful it is to let go, in order to make way for what is to come.

 

 

 

Welcome

Traci Skalberg, CCC Foundation Executive Director

Welcome to the Fall 2022 edition of the Community Connection. We are so happy to share in this CCC journey with you. The theme for Fall of 2022 is “Transition.” This is so appropriate at the CCC Foundation Office as we are experiencing a transition of leadership after 14 years. Dean Moors retired as Executive Director of the organization on November 1. Building upon the groundwork from his predecessor Jack Crowley, Moors moved the organization ten-fold in assets while investing millions into the students, projects, and programs of Central Community College. His legacy is vibrant and electric. His impact will be felt for generations.

On August 15, 2022, I joined the Central Community College Foundation as the third director in its 33-year history. I am excited to be a part of this sincere and reliable team who live the vision of improving quality of life, investing in one dream at a time. I can’t wait to meet you on this path and look forward to the vibrant colors of opportunity that we will paint together.
