History
The National Consortium for Continuous
Improvement was formed in 1999 by national
leaders in continuous improvement, organizational
development, planning, quality, institutional
effectiveness and related areas. Our mission is
to advance academic and administrative excellence
in higher education by identifying, promoting,
supporting and sharing effective organizational
practices among member institutions. In our
respective institutions across the nation,
members of NCCI are involved in addressing
critical issues by converting policies and ideas
into action and results. NCCI enables us to
advance the effectiveness of our institutions
through collaboration. Collectively, we have the
capacity and desire to advance critical issues at
a broader, national level through our specialized
skills and experience. If you share these aims,
we invite you and others from your institution
