AKCCOP is the Association of Kansas Community College Office Professionals. This group consists of hard working people from two-year colleges throughout the state, and can trace its history back four decades. It's not a union or a trade organization, but rather a group of people who share a mutual dedication to
"The purpose of this organization shall be to promote the standards of the
office professionals within the community colleges of Kansas, and to provide
a finer understanding of the relationship between our colleges and communities,
so that we may better serve our institutions."
AKCCOP members look forward each year to what they consider the major highlight of their membership - the annual spring conference workshops. These workshops are conducted on a different Kansas campus each year, giving everyone a chance to see the operations, facilities and atmosphere under which fellow members work. By attending spring AKCCOP conferences, delegates earn continuing education units.
