An increase in funding for Iowa’s “workforce machines” is in the works. The Iowa Valley Community College (IVCCD) Board of Directors at the meeting Wednesday heard from Association of Community College Trustees (IACCT) Executive Director Emily Shields. “I’m very passionate about community colleges,” Shields said. “I think they’re the most important part of the higher education sector, especially going into the future.” The Association of Community College Trustees is a non-profit organization advocating for Iowa’s 15 community colleges, and Shields said her top priority as executive director has been following the current state legislative session.
