“I am excited and honored to be selected for vice president of Regional Services, especially being a newer member of the organization,” said Ms. Fox. “I am very grateful to work at a wonderful institution, Cleveland State Community College, which encourages professional development and supported—not only by my participation in the leadership academy, but my serving on the board, as well.”
The vice president of Regional Services is responsible for membership services; serves as chair of the Membership and Marketing Committee; assists regional directors in providing CCBO services, including special regional workshops, programs at state meetings, etc.; and performs other duties assigned by the president.

CCBO is made up of a diverse range of members in different stages of their careers, each bringing unique skillsets. I enjoy working with such a great group of people interested in driving our profession forward.
“On the Cleveland State side, I am looking forward to spreading the word, via conference presentations and web based seminars, to other colleges about the exciting innovations and program efficiencies Cleveland State has implemented. I also personally look forward to the networking and idea sharing that happens among the membership base of CCBO that I can bring back and share with our Cleveland State team.”
Tommy Wright, CSCC vice president for Finance and Advancement, said, “Alisha's election to the CCBO as the vice president of Regional Services is well deserved. She is a proven leader and asset to our campus, and I'm certain she'll bring that same great leadership to in this new CCBO leadership role.”
