History of the Presidents' Round Table
The Presidents’ Round Table was founded January 1983 to bring together African-American Community College leaders for the purpose of ensuring their success as campus leaders. The group initially focused on advocacy for each other and mentorships to ensure the African-American legacy in campus leadership positions.
Other priorities included successful matriculations of African-American students and employment opportunities for African-Americans in community colleges across the nation with special emphasis on grooming future Presidents. Read the Constitution.
