Event Details

The Best Networking Opportunity of the Summer

Join the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship for the 2025 Pathways to Prosperity Summit in Tallahassee, Florida, June 4 -6, 2025 at Tallahassee State College.

Pathways to Prosperity brings together community college workforce directors, government, industry, healthcare program leaders and a variety of philanthropists from across the United States to network and engage to advance workforce pipeline and fundraising efforts for the benefit of students, while closing the skills gap.

You will have the opportunity to tour state of the art facilities, including a new makerspace, and develop meaningful relationships that lead to business partnerships and other collaborations.

Don’t take our word for it. After last year’s event at Pima Community College, Marcy Euler, M.Ed., C.F.R.E., of the Pima Community College Foundation said it best, “I loved networking and collaborating with other college team members and partners. We need more of these collaboration opportunities.”

Registration coming soon!

Announcing keynote speaker Mike Moss

Mike Moss, CAE, serves as president at the Society for College and University Planning (SCUP). His primary responsibility is working with the board of directors on the alignment and execution of the society’s strategic plan. In collaboration with the members of the SCUP Council, he works to create an environment at SCUP where members from all planning types can come together to share experiences and solve their stickiest challenges, together.

Moss started his non-profit management journey in 1992, when he accepted his first job at the Saginaw Bay Watershed Council. Since then he has worked in two state associations and two international associations, with responsibilities in learning, operations, human resources, IT, strategic partnerships, and member services. His international assignments have given him the opportunity to work in 15 countries across North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Moss is an active volunteer in supporting association management organizations through board service, facilitation of strategic planning processes, and teaching strategy and governance courses.

Moss starts his day reading blogs, listening to podcasts, catching up on the news, and listening to Metallica. An avid gardener, he enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and son.
