  2. Do any local employers serve on the boards of national associations?
  3. Are any local employers active at the state or national level in initatives focusing on education, training, skills attainment, or related issues?
  4. Are any of your employers interested in getting their names in front of your students on a regular basis? Do they want to increase their brand recognition with the next generation of workforce?
  5. Do your employers want to join others in discussing and problem-solving skill and/or employee shortages?
  6. Have employer partners written letters of support to the state legislature in support of community college funding, particularly supporting Career Technical Education program needs?
  7. Have employer partners joined college advocacy efforts in visiting state legislators at the Capitol to voice support for community college funding, particularly supporting Career Technical Education program needs?
  8. Does your college President have a CEO Advisory Council or recurring CEO roundtable event?
