Since April, Russ Mills has been serving as the Interim Director of Continuing Education at the University of Central Oklahoma. UCO's CE division is a start-up and Russ is helping set the infrastructure and is building a Strategic Plan and One-Year Business Plan. I visited with Russ and UCO staff this week and learned about their plans for the future. Lots of hard work to do, but a talented staff. As a guest of Michael Seppi, I also attended a Board Meeting of the Rockwood and Parkway Boards of Education as they discussed the partnering/merging of their Community Education programs. I presented and provided a national perspective.
