The North Carolina Community College Planning and Research Organization (CCPRO) is composed of planners and researchers from the 58 community colleges across the state of North Carolina. 

CCPRO is a network of concerned professionals. Because its members understand the importance of collaboration and are willing to share their expertise, the organization can be an especially valuable resource for those who are new to the research and planning profession. For those who are veterans of the profession, the organization is an excellent venue for shared best practices, the exchange of ideas, and the opportunity to network with fellow professionals.

In addition to its annual statewide meeting, CCPRO holds periodic regional meetings to foster the opportunity for participation throughout the year.   This website was established as a repository of helpful information to support the work of CCPRO, its membership, and others seeking information regarding institutional effectiveness, planning, research, and assessment.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve as President of CCPRO for the 2011-2012 terms. At our next annual meeting, we will celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the organization. Please share with me or others on the Executive Committee your suggestions for enhancements, useful resources, and greater networking opportunities as we prepare to celebrate 20 years of service!   

Sincerely,
