Recognition for Beth Wickham
and Community Learning

Oregon Community Education honorees at the annual Oregon Community Education Association (OCEA) Conference included Beth Wickham as Community Educator of the Year for 2008. Beth, Supervisor of Community Learning as well as Director for the Business Development Center, was recognized for her tireless work promoting lifelong learning here at COCC.

The OCEA recognized that through Beth’s efforts, and that of her staff, the Community Learning department initiated a number of new efforts to better reach out to constituents including the implementation of an e-newsletter, partnerships with local Chambers to provide business education, creation of a community business directory website for the small business owner, and establishment of a blog where community learning instructors keep in touch with the department, and each other, along with learning about the many aspects of teaching adults.

Congratualtions Beth!!!
