(DALLAS) — Two Dallas County Community College District administrators are among 22 individuals who recently were named Fellows for the 2017 Hispanic Leadership program sponsored by the National Community College Hispanic Council: Anabel Romero-Juarez, associate director of student services at North Lake College, and Matthew Sanchez, dean of enrollment management at Mountain View College.
The program, which is hosted by the University of San Diego School of Leadership and Education Sciences, is designed to develop a pool of highly qualified Latinas and Latinos whose career interest focuses on assuming increasingly responsible administrative positives, according to NCCHC, with the ultimate goal of becoming a community college president.
NCCHC’s Leadership Fellows program offers participants two residential training seminars where they prepare individualized professional development plans and establish relationships with their mentors, who are Hispanic community college leaders. A symposium is scheduled in the fall.

“Preparing strong leaders for the future is the primary purpose of the National Community College Hispanic Council’s Leadership Fellows program,” said Maria Harper-Marinick, president of NCCHC. “A demographic shift is occurring in the United States, and we are preparing new leaders who can model the way for the growing Hispanic population in our community which our community colleges serve. Our Fellows gain the necessary knowledge and skills they need to lead higher education into the future and to make a positive impact on the economic and civic success of their communities.”
NCCHC is an affiliated council of the American Association of Community Colleges, which has provided leadership to the community college movement for more than 50 years.
