What previous attendees think about the Annual Conference
Inspired and encouraged
The TACCF Conference is my favorite! The content is relevant and applicable… not to mention completely tailored for community college foundations. I left encouraged and inspired with new ideas, samples and friends. I’m looking forward to the 2019 conference!

Safe harbor
As someone who was a veteran community college employee, but new to the role of Foundation Executive Director, attending my first TACCF conference was like mooring in a safe harbor! Everyone at the conference was so willing to share their experience and wisdom, so every interaction I had loaded up my development toolkit. Sometimes, just knowing that others are experiencing the same challenges that you are is enough to keep you motivated! The caliber of speakers has been exceptional. My hat is off to my TACCF colleagues who have made this organization, and this conference, such a wonderful place to connect.

Peer Assistance
In 2013, I was the new director of development of a small community college foundation. As a young professional in the field, I was searching for resources and colleagues to assist me in my new role so that I could effectively serve my community, institution, donors and students. TAACF immediately filled that void by consistently providing a network of individuals and resources to help me ensure my team and I were successful. As a result, I am a firm supporter of TAACF and believe every community college in the great state of Texas should become a member!

A Place to Learn
In my experience, the TACCF Conference consistently provides an interesting and informative panel of sessions that I have found to be very helpful in my role as a community college development officer. The conference’s excellent program coupled with the opportunity to meet and interact with experienced fundraisers from across the state makes this an event that I look forward to each year.

Support Group
Having spent my ‘first career’ in healthcare administration, coming into a new career and not knowing anyone in the community college ranks was a bit intimidating. But after the first half-day session, I felt like I found my support group! TACCF is an oasis for anyone, new or veteran, large or small, city to rural, where you feel like you can share and find strength from your new-found friends. When resources are limited for continuing education, TACCF brings national names to our State meeting enabling ‘small shops’ like me the chance to learn from the best and bolster new and innovative ideas to enhance both my advancement and alumni skills.
