A Message from President Dave Follick

Welcome to the NYSACAC website!  I am truly honored to be President of this amazing organization for the upcoming year.  This organization has provided me educational opportunities, professional development and a close network of friends that I rely on daily. 

You are one of the 1800 members of NYSACAC.  This organization provides something for everyone.  Our members represents community colleges, public universities, private colleges, public high schools, independent high schools, community-based organizations, independent consultants, corporate/vendors, and retirees.

Every year our committees plan programming for our students along with our members.  These include our regional college fairs for high school students, Summer and Winter Institute for our new professionals, professional development workshops for everyone, and culminates each June with our Coming Together and Annual Conference.  This June our conference will be at Hartwick College.

If you’re looking to get more involved, please consider volunteering! This organization is only as strong with volunteers like yourself.  Please reach out if you have any questions about volunteer opportunities or our various committees. Members of the Executive Board and committee co-chairs welcome the opportunity to share their experiences to help you find ways to connect. If you have a few minutes please visit our committee website to learn more. If you are interested in getting more involved, please email me.

This past July, our Executive Board and committees met for a two-day retreat to begin the planning for the upcoming year.  At the retreat, it was also the opportunity for our Regional Representatives to meet.  These individuals were elected by you.  To see who your regional representatives are, visit their website.  These positions were designed to help promote our organization within your local community.  If you have a question, idea, or just want to meet your representative, please feel free to contact them.     

On behalf of the leadership team at NYSACAC, we look forward to a great year.  If you need to reach me, I am only an email away, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Dave Follick
