The 15 Must Follow Community College CEOs on Twitter 2017

As we approach the 2017 American Association of Community College Conference in New Orleans I thought I would push out my 2017 list of Social Community College CEOs on Twitter.  This list is much larger than the list I started in 2014.  In fact, I only did the Top 12, because that is how few community college presidents were tweeting.  My total list of community college presidents tweeting has grown to 67.  A dozen of those setup twitter accounts between 2104 – 2016.
I am again confident this very social group will keep everyone informed on the happenings at the meeting.    To kick off this barrage of social info I am going to give a shout out to my former colleague, Joanna Anderson,  who is now the President of State Fair Community College in Missouri and who is doing a great job of sharing campus events.  The presidents listed are there because they use Twitter to create a unique social relationship with their campus constituents.  I do have a formula which I developed 4 years ago when I started this list which takes into account many factors beyond the quantity of tweets.  This year I did tweak it slightly as Twitter now allows you to create Moments.  I also give Kent Points.  Those are for stuff I like such as having fly fishing listed in their profile.  It hasn’t helped anyone get on the must follow list, but hey it is my list so I might as well have some fun with it!
The following are my newcomers to my comprehensive list of Community College presidents who Tweet and two of these (Tom Huebner and Scott Rails) moved on to my must follow listing.

Monte Sullivan @LCTCSpresident @LCTCSpresident
Marcia Ballinger @PresBallinger Lorain County Community College
Mary Spilde @maryspilde Lane Community College
Deneece Huftalin @SLCCHuftalin Salt Lake Community College
Tom Huebner @EMCCHuebner ‏ East Mississippi Community College
Sasan Poureetezad @sasankp ‏ Interim President at Mesa Community College.
Mark Brainar @DrMarkBrainard Delaware Technical Community College
Scott Ralls @NOVA_Prez Northern Virginia Community College
John Downey @brdownj ‏ Blue Ridge Community College
Christina Royal @christinaroyal7 ‏ Holyoke Community College.

 
My more comprehensive list of community college CEO’s who are using Twitter in 2017 to communicate is also provided at the end of the post.  This would be a great list to watch during the 2017 conference.  This year watch for the hashtag  #AACC2017  The Community College CEOs on my must follow list push out quite a number of Tweets, but more importantly they are using Twitter to network professionally, share information and keep their campus community up to date.    
What is important about this list is that these presidents use Twitter to promotes their institution, stay involved in student and campus activities as well as interacts with leaders from business, politics other schools.  They all use the tool a little differently but all have managed to develop a social media approach that makes sense for them.
The top 15 in my view understand the benefits and power of social collaboration and how it enables institutions to better serve and collaborate with campus constituents.   Well done.
