Atlantic Canada’s publicly funded colleges’ association has a new name, an expanded membership and a new strategic direction.
Atlantic Colleges Atlantique (ACA) will promote the role of public colleges and collaborate to further economic and social development in Atlantic Canada. It replaces Atlantic Provinces Community College Consortium and represents seven colleges, including Holland College and Collège de l'Île.
“Atlantic Canada’s publicly funded colleges make a significant contribution to the economy and to their communities across Atlantic Canada,” said Marilyn Luscombe, ACA chairwoman and New Brunswick Community College president and CEO.
“As a regional organization, ACA has a strategic priority to raise the profile, brand and awareness of Atlantic Canada’s public colleges, as well as influence public policy with regards to post-secondary education and training and strengthen the public college system in the region.”
