Regional Meetings
(for members only)

NC Campus Compact Regional Meetings are opportunities for civic engagement professionals from membercampuses to engage in face-to-face dialogue with other members and the NC Campus Compact staff and to gain in-depth information on a particular topic. In addition to a professional development session, NC Campus Compact staff share issues pertinent to NC Campus Compact’s growth and development, share upcoming opportunities and allow time for participants to highlight any best practices or campus events. Contact Leslie Garvin with any questions about regional meetings.
 
Regional meetings occur two times a year; in August and January. Due to budget constraints the 2009-2010 meetings will be webinars. For the 2010-11 academic year we hope to return to regional meetings being held on a campus in that specific region.  If you are the host campus for a meeting, click here to download an overview of hosting responsibilities.
