Microsoft Community & Technical College Advisory Council Gains Butte College Member

Doug Houston, Director of Human Resources at Butte College, joins the nationwide technology council.

Congratulations to Doug Houston who was recently selected to represent Butte College on the Community & Technical College Advisory Council, a newly formed nationwide technology committee sponsored by Microsoft and the League for Innovation.

The underlying purpose for the council is to develop the two-way communication that comes with relationship building to enhance the work of Microsoft, participating educators, and the higher education community.

Doug will represent Butte College as one of sixteen council members to serve on the 2000-2002 advisory council chosen from a field of 120 nominations. Doug was the only California Community College member selected to participate on the council. Each nominee was carefully considered with attention to extending the council opportunity to individuals, schools, and geographic areas that have not previously been represented at Microsoft.

A balance of rural and urban schools, geographic distribution, and a cross section of community and technical college staff from CEO's to administrative services were sought, making the process extremely challenging. With the excellent credentials and experience of all the applicants, the selection committee faced a formidable task!
