About
For the year ended June 30, 2019, TCDA operated the following programs:(i)Courses The Courses that TCDA operate include the following developmental courses: New Board Member Orientation/Governance, Community Engagement, Interfacing with Elected Officials, Budget and Finance and a host of elected workshops, including Roberts Rules of Order, Public Speaking, and Careers of the Future. (ii)Leadership Training Conference - TCDA hosts a statewide leadership conference for all college presidents, local board members and college staff to better acquaint the post-secondary community with advances in career paths and student success. Guest speakers include noted speakers in the fields of education, future career trends, new technologies including artificial intelligence and deep fakes, campus security, and legislation effecting post-secondary education. (iii)Fact Book & Directory and Newsletter -The TCDA Fact Book and Board Directory serves as a marketing tool for the colleges profiling the prominent individuals who serve on the Technical College System of Georgia State Board and the local boards of directors. It contains contact information on all current board members and alumni and informs the public of the industry leaders who volunteer their time and expertise in order to make the Technical College System of Georgia the premier two-year college system in the nation. TCDA has colleges who are nationally ranked due to their unique training programs. TCDAs semi-annual newsletter is used as a communication and information tool to advise current and former board members, as well as State Board members, college presidents and staff on current issues of concern in education, be it Pell Grant renewal, Dual Enrollment, or Complete College Georgia, and trends we see emerging in the nation. For example, the autonomous car may be the prescription for solving many metro traffic problems across the nation. Every major car manufacturer has pledged to have self-driving cars in mass production by 2022. Who will work on these cars? What programs need to be developed and technologies secured to be able to produce, repair and install top-mounted LADAR systems that some of the cars, such as the Waymo Cars, will need to navigate the grid? The newsletter brings questions on future careers to bear. (iv)Technical College System of Georgia State Meetings - In accordance with Georgia Statues 20-4-10, the Technical College System of Georgia has an appointed State Board of 23 individuals responsible for the courses and direction of the 22 colleges in the TCSG system. It is their responsibility to ensure that all colleges provide world-class careers that are both current and well positioned for the next century. All TCSG colleges are SACS accredited and must remain so in order for degrees to transfer to the four-year university system.Local boards of director are mandated by Georgia State Law 20-4-11 to assist and act as an extension to State Board of Directors. The TCDA is responsible for training and developing the 22 local boards of directors to comply and assist the State Board in their mission. The TCDA, in their role as educators of the local boards, helps to support both the State Board and local boards through annual meetings and dissemination of critical information necessary for the success of the colleges. Such events include the ten State Board meetings, annual leadership conference, Student and Adult Learners of the Year Programs and the annual State of the System address from the TCSG Commissioner. Where TCDA programs impact the message, TCDA will provide literature, speakers, technology or food to assist with the particular function. Example for the Student of the Year in 2019, TCDA offered technology to the winner to enable them to continue their bachelor degree at an accredited Georgia University.
