  • Maintain regular communication with the TYCA-NE Vice-Chair.

  • Share the CFP and conference information with their home state community colleges.

  • Act as a liaison between REC and Two Year College community to seek candidates for  the DIANA HACKER and Teaching at the Two-Year College Best Article awards.

  • Assist REC in locating future sites for conference.

  • Market the fall regional conference in their states.

  • Compile/maintain a list of two-year colleges and Department Chairs in their states.

Being a State Representative is not a time-consuming role, but it is vital for TYCA-NE to thrive. State Reps are our eyes and ears in the communities we serve.

In addition, serving as a State Rep for TYCA-NE provides an excellent opportunity for professional development and promotion.
