AATYC Leadership Institute
The goal of the AATYC Leadership Institute is to identify, develop, prepare and advance leaders from within Arkansas two-year
colleges. Through an experience-based model, participants develop general leadership skills and executive leadership skills
related to academics, finance and student affairs. Approximately 24 participants from two-year colleges across Arkansas
participate each year.


AATYC Conference
Over 700 two-year college faculty, staff and administrators attend the AATYC conference each year. The conference is an
opportunity for two-year college employees to present to their peers on topics such as student success initiatives, use of
technology in the classroom and workforce development. In addition, outstanding faculty, staff, students and alumni are
nominated by colleges and honored each year.

AATYC Board of Directors
The AATYC Board of Directors is made up faculty, classified staff, administrators and trustees from two-year colleges across
the state. They are elected by their peers each year at the annual conference, and their primary responsibility is planning the
annual conference. All of the four divisions have equal responsibility, and for the first time in 2012, the Board President rose
from the ranks of the classified staff division.
