Grounded in an economic perspective, Financing Community Colleges: Where We Are, Where We're Going helps college leaders make sense of the challenges they face in securing and managing the resources needed to carry out the community college mission. Finance has perpetually been an Achilles heel for leaders at all levels of management. With the premise that leaders are better at winning battles they know something about, this book equips leaders with an understanding of the fundamentals and the complexities of community college finance. It tackles current and emerging issues with insight that is analytic and prophetic—a must read for current and prospective leaders.

Romano and Palmer’s work, Financing Community Colleges: Where We Are, Where We’re Going…will help emerging leaders to better understand finance issues and will allow them to advance the mission of the comprehensive community college. This book provides an excellent opportunity for current graduate students as well as emerging community college leaders to be well-prepared to understand and face the recurring challenges that may cause them to hesitate about accepting senior-level responsibilities. The book’s subtitle is spot-on: it tells us where we are, where we’re going, and that promises better preparation for a future generation of effective community college leaders.
