Your 2023/2024 STTACC Board

To ensure a smooth and comfortable experience at the 2024 STTACC Annual Conference, make sure to pack a few essentials. Bring your conference materials, such as necessary documents, business cards, and a notebook or device for taking notes. Don’t forget some college swag for the Swag Swap. Dress comfortably, considering layers as conference rooms can vary in temperature, and wear supportive shoes since you’ll be on your feet a lot. Stay hydrated with a refillable water bottle and keep your energy up with healthy snacks. A portable charger will keep your devices powered throughout the day, and a lightweight backpack or tote bag will help carry your essentials and any materials you pick up.

For personal care, pack hand sanitizer, lip balm, and lotion to stay clean and moisturized. Check the weather forecast and pack an umbrella or sunhat if needed and consider sunglasses for outdoor activities. Additionally, plan your schedule to attend the workshops that interest you the most, and bring plenty of business cards for networking. If you arrive early on August 6th, join the walk-through Riverfront Park and enjoy live music and food trucks. Look forward to the keynote by Ben Messner, who will share insights on building community and team dynamics. Have a great time at the conference!

Our history, the Staff Training for Technical and Community Colleges (STTACC) organization was established in 1978. The inception of STTACC was driven by an Inter-governmental Personnel Act (IPA) grant received by the Seattle Community College District VI. This grant aimed to share the district VI training model with all 24 community colleges across Washington State at that time. We now have 34 community and technical colleges throughout Washington State.

The grant also mandated the creation of a statewide-classified employee development advisory board by September 30, 1979. To achieve this, a series of three two-day conferences were organized in early 1979. These conferences, held at St. Thomas Seminary in Kenmore, Washington, included workshops on needs assessment, planning and implementation strategies, and the development of a statewide network.

STTACC’s mission is to support innovation, training, and leadership by providing resources and connections to classified staff members throughout Washington State. The organization continues to play a crucial role in enhancing the professional development of classified staff in technical and community colleges.

See you soon at our STTACC Annual Conference and Annual Meeting!
