Dr. Alice Letteney will serve as president of NMACC during 2005-06 year
Dr. Alice Letteney, executive director of the UNM-Valencia Campus, was recently elected president of the New Mexico Association of Community Colleges for the 2005-2006 fiscal year.
She served as vice president of the NMACC during the 2004-2005 term. This election is her second election as president of the NMACC; she served her first term as president from 2000 to 2001.
“The community colleges are a vital and vibrant sector in our system of higher education in New Mexico,” Letteney said. “Our colleges, located conveniently in communities all around the state, provide working men and women and recent high school graduates with convenient, low-cost, student-friendly educational institutions for them to pursue career, technical and transfer education. I am honored to have been elected by my colleagues to this critical leadership position.”
The NMACC represents all two-year public colleges in the state, and the organization consists of executive directors of New Mexico’s two-year institutions.
Letteney, who has been the executive director of the UNM-Valencia Campus since 1995, was elected in Santa Fe during a recent business meeting of the NMACC.
