Events and News
Hi folks, I hope you are all doing well. If you are thinking, “I haven’t seen Jack on campus for awhile,” you would be correct! I have actually been to two conferences over the last week. The first was the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) conference with teammates Wendy Coates & Josh Krupke. It was a good conference, and I am coming home with some great ideas about how to better support our mission and work with the community to increase scholarships and funding for students!
I also just finished attending the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) Leadership conference in Las Vegas with board chair Rebecca Chan. It was an excellent conference! I pulled one of those annoying “boss” things also when I was there, texting people during meetings, “Do we have this?” “Could we do that?” I was just really excited- seeing some of the innovative practices across the country was so inspiring. I can’t wait to bring back some of the ideas to SCC.
Unfortunately, I missed US Senator Patty Murray visiting us last Friday to discuss efforts to extend federal childcare stabilization funding, her comprehensive childcare reform legislation, and her continued work to address the childcare crisis. I heard the meeting was terrific. She was joined in the roundtable discussion by Washington State Representative Tana Senn (D-LD-41); Allison Krutsinger, Director of Public Affairs at DCYS; Junaid Haq, Director of the Parent Child Center (PCC) at SCC (who apparently was AWESOME even though he has only been here a month), Deeann Puffert, CEO of Child Care Aware of Washington, and Laurie Carlsson, an amazing parent at the PCC. As you know, affordable childcare is a major challenge in the state, and across the country. We were so fortunate to have these folks advocating for children and families. I am eager to learn of any partnerships that may be forming and connecting their work to our PCC.
I am staying down south an extra day or so, to connect with some of my friends from San Diego who are driving up for the weekend, but I am looking forward to seeing you all in person next week! Be well.
Best,
Jack

Foundation and Advancement
The Giving Table: SCCF Annual Fundraising Luncheon
The SCCF annual fundraising luncheon happens on November 3! This year’s event will focus on how donors impact the students and programs at SCC. Unlike in past years, there will be no cost to attend the event. Guests will be asked to consider making a gift of $200 (or an amount that is meaningful for them) during the event. If you would like to help or want to know more about filling up a table of people, let Wendy know!
Giving Table – Table Captains:
We are seeking volunteers to host tables. This means you would invite people you know professionally (or personally) who you think would be excited about giving a gift in support of SCC Students and programs, you help them register, and let them know any details (how to park etc.), and on the day of the event you act as the Foundation’s representative at the table! Don’t worry, it’s not hard, in fact it’s fun! We’ll even have a handbook that will help you know what to do and when. Let Wendy know if you are interested!
Giving Table – Sponsors:
Sponsorship is a critical component of any fundraising event. Sponsors, individuals, and businesses, provide funds for promotional consideration on our website, social media, printed collateral, etc. Event sponsors help to defray the cost of the event so that every dollar raised will support SCC students and programs! If you want to be a sponsor, or know someone who could be a sponsor, click here for more info.
Shout out to the sponsors who have already committed to helping! Click here to see who they are! And if you know or shop with them, give them a big “thank you”!
