Bloom Group |
|
With the hundred year wildflower bloom in the
desert as a back-drop, a group of community college educators
and business leaders convened to discuss another national
treasure, the American Community College. Words such as
community, passion, learning, connectedness, hope, opportunity,
diversity and democracy were used to describe their commitment.
Their frank and honest discussion produced a call for further
dialogue regarding the future in the new millennium.
The group became known as the "Bloom Group" as a metaphor for
what they conceived during the two days in 2005: a re-blooming
of the 100-year-old community college movement in America.
Annually Creative Change Fellows (Bloomies) are invited to attend
the Institute in Palm Springs, CA, based upon their contribution
and service to their profession and communities. |
