College Visits for Professional Development:
 All of our sister colleges in KCTCS excel in various areas and we have the opportunity to learn
from each college. Each department is to select a small group of employees to travel to one or
more of our sister colleges in order to learn and exchange ideas that would allow ECTC to grow
and better serve our students. By April 10, each Cabinet member should have a list of
employees who will be traveling to one or more of our sister colleges.
