Manny Sanchez Joins Legislative Advisory Committee of New England Board of High Education
Manny Sanchez, Senior Development Officer in the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, and CT State Representative, has accepted an invitation to join the Legislative Advisory Committee of the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE).
NEBHE began convening the Legislative Advisory Committee (LAC) semi-annually in 2013. The purpose of the committee is threefold:
- Strengthen state higher education policymaking in New England;
- Promote regional dialogue and greater interstate collaboration; and
- Inform and advise NEBHE’s policy analysis, research, and program activities.
Recent LAC meetings have included discussions on cost drivers in higher education, the value of higher education, free college proposals, early college, dual and concurrent enrollment, outcomes-based funding, state goals, and college affordability.
Committee membership is comprised of legislative delegates to the NEBHE Board and additional sitting legislators from each state who are nominated by respective state legislative delegates to the NEBHE Board.
