Scott Ralls, Ph.D. President, North Carolina Community College System Welcome to the 2008 North Carolina Community College System Conference. Veterans of this outstanding event will recognize a number of “firsts” this year. We are in Raleigh as one of the first major events in the brand-new Raleigh Convention Center. We are strongly focused on the urgent challenges of educating North Carolinians for the world economy, with the theme “Beyond the Horizon: Preparing Students for a Global Advantage.” And for me, this is the first opportunity to attend this conference as President of the North Carolina Community College System. During my tenure as President of Craven Community College, I observed how much the faculty and staff looked forward to these few days with colleagues from our sprawling, diverse community college system. The sessions, workshops and – yes – the social events give us the chance to learn from nationally-recognized experts and from each other how to serve our students and communities better. This conference succeeds because the people who participate are also the people who plan and present. At the System Office, we are pleased to support this conference, and we look forward to participating as well. Community college professionals are so committed to providing our students access to educational opportunity that we sometimes need to be reminded of the importance of our own professional development. This is one of the best venues we have to practice the lifelong learning skills essential for us to participate fully in the fast-changing arena of global education. I hope that you enjoy your time in Raleigh and return to your classrooms, labs and offices refreshed and ready to put new ideas into action.

She did make the team, and as Miss North Carolina 1963 she also competed in the Miss America Pageant, where she was named Miss Congeniality. It was her participation in, and perhaps even her losing of, the Miss America title that turned Ms. Robertson’s life into a succession of events that led to her professional speaking career. She received her degree from Auburn University and taught physical education in high school and college for nine years. But throughout those years, the requests to speak continued to pour in. In 1976 she stopped teaching and entered professional speaking full time. In addition to a full speaking schedule year after year, Ms. Robertson has been awarded every top honor and designation in her profession including: the Certified Speaking Professional designation in 1980, induction in the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame, the National Speakers Association’s Cavett Award, Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavel Award, NCAA Southeastern Conference/Auburn University’s Woman Entrepreneur of the Year, North Carolinian of the Year by the NC Press Association, and the Miss North Carolina Organization’s 2003 Woman of Achievement. 14 2008 North Carolina Community College System Conference Sunday, October 12 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Registration Convention Center/SalisburyStreet Level/Main Lobby 2:30 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. Exhibits Convention Center/Exhibit Hall/Lower Level PRE-CONFERENCE MEETINGS 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Sheraton Willow Oak Business Meeting NC Community College Criminal Justice Educators’ Association Presider: Jim Pleszewski 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Marriott Chancellor Room Business Meeting NC Community College Association of Distance Learning (NC3ADL) Presider: Candace Ring PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Marriott State Ballroom NLN-AC Accreditation Presenter: Sharon Tanner Presider: Carol Boles The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLN-AC) supports the interest of nursing education, nursing practice and the public by the function of accreditation.
