Winter 2026 Small Shop Roundtable Discussion: Naming Policies

About

Our quarterly small shop roundtables continue with two members of the CASE Community College Leadership Committee, Dr. Shai James Boyd and Lennetta Coney, sharing their expertise as they facilitate our discussion. We’ll kick things off with practical insights on the do’s and don’ts of naming policies, then open the floor for an interactive discussion on the challenges and opportunities you’re facing. Feeling isolated in your small shop? This is your chance to share ideas, ask questions, and build connections with peers who understand your world. Join us!
