The Concept
Rural community colleges are uniquely positioned to enhance economic and educational opportunities in their regions.
Trusted by the public, private and nonprofit sectors and valued by all social classes, they can provide a safe, neutral place for mobilizing community engagement.
In many communities, they are the only institutions with the stature and flexibility to provide leadership for regional development.
![Page 7: G.V. Montgomery National Center for the Study of Veterans’ Education Policy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568159aa550346895dc70d87/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. None of us is as smart as all of us.
2. Reject ideas – not people.
3. Deliberate – don’t debate.
4. Give up your ideas to the group.
5. Enlightened self-interest Regional Success
Our Guiding Principles
![Page 8: G.V. Montgomery National Center for the Study of Veterans’ Education Policy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568159aa550346895dc70d87/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
6. Things are the way they are
because they got that way.
7. We must balance what is “desirable”
with what is “doable” – but dare to dream.
8. To say that a program needs improving
is not an indictment of those who work in it.
Our Guiding Principles
![Page 9: G.V. Montgomery National Center for the Study of Veterans’ Education Policy](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070418/568159aa550346895dc70d87/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9. It’s better to do something than nothing
while we’re waiting to do everything.
10. This could be the start of something
big!
11. Have some fun!!
