The Board also agreed they would like time at each Board meeting to examine various issues. This month\u2019s question and reading is listed in the Board meeting materials packet.

We met with representatives Tristan Cole, Daire Rendon, Curt Vanderwall, Michelle Hoitenga, and senators Wayne Schmidt and Darwin Booher. We also met with the folks from the State Budget Office about our capital outlay project request and were successful in getting our request scored following the meeting.<\/li>\n<li>I had a meeting with Marguerite Cotto, Brian Matchett, and Dr. Randy Showerman, Director of the Michigan State University Institute of Agricultural Technology, to talk about the potential development of a new program to include food processing and technology.<\/li>\n<li>Several trustees and a number of NMC employees attended events of the Traverse City Chamber of Commerce Annual Celebration week, January 22-26.

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend, but know from past years that it is a nice event for GLMA alumni and cadets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Legislative Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>State<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Last week, Governor Snyder revealed his 8th and final Executive Budget Recommendation. While the recommendation stated that community colleges are \u201cintegral to attaining the Governor\u2019s goal of ensuring that at least 60 percent of Michigan residents have high-quality skills training, a degree or other credential by 2025,\u201d the proposal unfortunately did not propose any new funding or support for Michigan\u2019s 28 community colleges. Specifically, the proposal would continue FY18 funding levels ($9,508,900 in operations funding) for NMC. It also did not include any capital outlay projects, including NMC\u2019s Osterlin Learning Support Services Renovation project. Therefore, NMC will be advocating with our legislators for an appropriations increase and inclusion of our capital outlay project as the legislative appropriations process moves forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Federal<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Also, last week in Washington, Congress passed a short term funding bill to avert a government shutdown and a two-year budget framework deal, which sets overall spending levels for the federal government for FY18 and FY19. Specific to community colleges, the raising of the budget caps as part of this budget framework is good news. We were also glad to see that the budget framework included $4 billion for \u201cstudent- centered programs that aid college completion and affordability.\u201d The details of this funding have yet to be announced and we will continue to monitor the development of the FY18 budget, which is most likely to pass prior to the March 23 expiration of the current short-term continuing resolution.<\/li>\n<li>In addition to FY18 federal spending levels, we were interested to review the President\u2019s FY19 Budget Recommendation. Unfortunately, much like the President\u2019s FY18 Budget Recommendation, this proposal makes drastic cuts to education and talent programs. This includes proposals to eliminate the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and GEAR UP funding and make significant reductions to the Department of Education and Department of Labor, including to the Pell Grant program. Related to funding for state maritime academies, the President\u2019s Budget also cuts funding for academy support and fuel assistance payments. Fortunately, as with past executive budget proposals, we know that Congress will look to weigh in with their own proposals and, coupled with the raised spending caps, we are hopeful that these important funding sources are protected.<\/li>\n<li>To continue our advocacy efforts, we look forward to hosting our Northern Michigan state and federal legislative delegation in early March for a discussion of our 2018 Advocacy Agenda and specifically how state and federal budgets impact NMC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>M<\/strong><strong>iscellaneous<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Legislative Roundtable and Breakfast\u2014<strong>March 2, 2018, Osterlin Library, Room 204<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Board of Trustees SGA Dinner\u2014<strong>March 19, 2018<\/strong>, <strong>NMC Hagerty Center<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Taste of Success\u2014<strong>April 6, 2018, NMC Hagerty Center<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you all for everything you do in pursuit of \u201cKeeping Learning at the Center.\u201d This summer, the Board of Trustees attended an all-day institute at the MCCA Summer program.
