About FACC
Mission
The Florida Association of Community Colleges is the professional Association for Florida's 28 public community colleges, their Boards, employees, retirees, and associates. The mission of the Association is to actively promote, democratically represent, support, and serve the individual members and institutions in their endeavors to provide their students and the citizens of Florida with the best possible comprehensive community college educational system.
History
The Association was organized in 1949 as the Florida
Association of Public Junior Colleges by the presidents of Florida's
first four public junior colleges. Its mission was to unite the
colleges for the purpose of helping the Florida Legislature understand
the junior college mission and to advocate for Florida's public
junior colleges in the development of the state's long-range plan
for higher education.
Since 1949, the Association's mission and purposes
have grown in scope as has the Association itself. In 1971, the
Association became the Florida Association for Community Colleges
and is the most original organization serving any community college
system in the nation. FACC is the only community college Association
which represents all employees, presidents, trustees associated
with a community college system.
Today, all 28 of the state's community colleges support
the work of the Association through institutional dues as do nearly
8,000 individual community college employees and retirees through
individual memberships and the sharing of their talents, time and
energy.
Organization
The Association is guided by state bylaws and organized through an intricate network of Chapters, Commissions, Regions and a Board of Directors. A full-time staff administers the day-to-day operations, maintains membership records and coordinates communications and professional development opportunities.
