Part of our process and a best practice Current strategic plan is sun-setting (five year planning cycle) Completed an assessment of the existing plan in July Board of Trustees District Governance Council Listening sessions: the two Public Dialogues and forums at each of the three colleges

The big picture
An opportunity to pause and consider the big picture Tactics are about making decisions when you have to act. Strategy is about making decisions when you don t have to act. -Garry Kasparov
How to begin?
What we ve done so far Public Dialogue #1 (Oct 11) Who are we? Why do we exist? What do we dream to be? Our values Our purpose Our vision Public Dialogue #2 (Nov 7) How do we get there? What would success look like? Our mission Strategic direction/goals
Before we begin Any questions, nagging or otherwise?
Values
Some context Discussion of values can be a challenge because we often have different definitions in our heads In an environment of rapid change values take on greater meaning We often retreat to our values in moments of crisis
Organizational values: a definition Values are the standards that guide our collective conduct in a variety of settings. They represent the core principles within the organization s culture. While circumstances may change, ideally values do not.

Strategy Strategic Directions and goals
a curve ball 1. The state chancellor's office just released new requirements regarding the alignment of local strategic goals to system goals 2. Our task today is to discuss these statewide system goals within the context of our local environment and local trends 3. We will look at some environmental data and have a conversation on how we might best incorporate these systems goals into our planning. How do we make them our own?
Context Local Environmental data
Data themes 1. County population continues to grow; unemployment at record lows 2. We operate in a countercyclical market 3. We serve three distinctively different service areas (West, Central and East County) 4. High School enrollments should continue to be strong for 3 to 4 more years 5. Adult learners with some college are our biggest student population segment 6. First generation and Hispanic students are fastest growing
Contra Costa County growing by 10,000 people per year 1,200,000 1,100,000 1,000,000 900,000 800,000 700,000 600,000 500,000
But economics drives our enrollment more than population growth 75,000 70,000 Peak of Recession Peak of Recession District Headcount Enrollment 65,000 60,000 55,000 50,000 45,000 40,000 Peak of Recession When the economy slows down our enrollment grows, while at the same time our state funding begins to shrink When the economy expands there is an incentive for students to leave college and join the workforce Source: CPEC & CCCCO Data Mart, Annual Headcount.
Contra Costa County s Regions and college service areas East County West County Third largest region Home to roughly a quarter of a million residents Slow growth Growing at a slower rate than other regions in the county Central County Largest region Home to more than half the county s roughly 1.1 million residents Modest growth Growing slightly slower than the county average Second largest region Slightly larger than the West county with 284K residents Rapid growth Fastest growing region in the county Note: Growth rates are derived from recorded population growth from 2010 to 2015. Data source: 2010 U.S. Decennial Census and 2015 5-Yr. American Community Survey (ACS).
Projected high school graduation rates are higher locally 15% California high school graduate projections Contra Costa County 10% 5% Bay Area 0% California 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26 -5% Note: in a given year, recent high school grads account for only 25% of first-time students -10% Source: California Department of Finance, Demographic Research Unit, (2016).
Distribution of Racial and Ethnicity Groups in Contra Costa County
What the environmental themes tell us 1. We can expect continued population growth, esp in East County 2. A recession is likely coming 3. Challenges and opportunities will be experienced differently at each college 4. High School graduates will peak soon and then begin to decline (acct for most completions) 5. We can expect continued growth in adult learners and first generation students 6. State legislation is incentivizing completion and workforce outcomes
