  41. We CAN do it all – We need your input and your Legislative Support. Without your help it’s tough to help you.

  42. Our Role & How You Can Help • FIRST: Make your needs known to your community college [Advisory committees, Continuing Education and Economic Development staff, the President, etc]. • SECOND: Remember that a strong community college can help everyone more—all ships rise. Be as concerned about the general health of your community college as about your specific program concern.
