Advisors/ Resource Council

Distinguished Advisors
NCCI’s mission has caught the attention of many leaders in higher education who are, themselves, actively engaging in “continuous improvement” approaches. A number of these leaders have generously shared their wisdom and advice, as NCCI strives to best advance excellence in higher education on a national scale.
Following are some of the leaders who serve as advisors to NCCI. We thank them for the many ways in which they continue to help us, including serving as final judges for NCCI’s Leveraging Excellence Award, as speakers at national conferences, as authors of articles featuring continuous improvement successes, and as informal advisors and advocates.
