Dr. George Boggs, the President & CEO Emeritus of the American Association of Community Colleges, has joined the College Brain Trust (CBT) as a consultant and project leader.

“I am pleased to join a nationally-respected consulting firm and impressed with the quality, professionalism, and creativity of the CBT consultants. I am proud to join their team to continue to serve community colleges,” said Dr. Boggs.

Dr. Boggs will join Rocky Young, former Chancellor of the Los Angeles Community College District and CBT Chief Consultant, and Patrick McCallum, the President of CBT, to provide direction and strategic vision for the three-year old national community college consulting firm.
