Dear [supervisor’s name]:

To ensure that [institution’s name] achieves its community college baccalaureate program goals, I would like to attend the Community College Baccalaureate Association’s annual national conference, a three-day professional development and networking event at the Austin Marriott Downtown in Austin, TX, February 5-7, 2025.

The conference is a high-quality education event specifically designed to provide ideas, information, and inspiration to community college faculty and administrators who are interested in learning best practices and connecting with CCB experts who can support our college as we continue to design and implement our bachelor’s programs.

What Does the Registration Fee Include?

  • Three meals, daily refreshments and an evening reception,
  • Access to all general sessions and workshops, and
  • Intimate networking opportunities with higher education experts and strategic partners who can support our CCB journey at every phase.

My participation in this conference will equip me with new skills and strategies we can employ immediately and share with our colleagues.

Please support my attendance during the CCBA National Conference. As a CCBA member, we can take advantage of early bird pricing ($750) now! You can learn more about this exciting event at accbd.org/conference-2025/ .

Sincerely,

[Your name]
