Description
When you interview the business office leaders at the Yosemite Community College District, you’ll quickly learn that they are laser-focused on accountability, transparency and smooth business processes. Prior to the pandemic, YCCD staff were working tirelessly on their journey of eliminating both paper and any unnecessary steps in their day-to-day operations. With the 2020 disruption resulting in tighter budgets, multiple shifts between on-campus and online, and increasing needs for transparency, YCCD knew they had to accelerate their efforts. Follow and learn from YCCD’s operational transformation journey across the business office.
