Who We Are
CCC DECO is a non-profit corporation that operates exclusively for educational purposes. The focus of CCC DECO is to promote online student success and quality distance education programs within the California Community College system. Through collaboration and centralized resource sharing, we will seek to provide support and professional development for the faculty and DE support staff of the California Community Colleges. We will also work to develop and promote distance education policies and practices in the State legislature, Chancellor’s office, and local districts and colleges.
The Executive Committee comprises five DE Coordinators from the CCC community. Each is elected for a two-year term of volunteer service. Elections and all other organizational business are conducted annually at the DE Coordinators Retreat, held during the Online Teaching Conference (OTC) for the CCC community.
