“…Our findings can help address this discrepancy by guiding Grow Your Own programs to provide the kinds of leadership development experiences reported as valuable in acquiring the six AACC competencies. The results of this study can also help construct a leadership development program that clearly supports the commonly identified need to pay particular attention to the leadership development of community college leaders (Amey et al, 2002;Campbell, 2002;Little, 2002;Manzo, 2003;Shults, 2001;Vaughan & Weisman, 2003;Wallin, 2002;Watts & Hammons, 2002). By analyzing the skill sets currently being developed within their community college culture, these institutions can specifically target Grow Your Own modules to fill the missing gaps.…”

“…Typically, leadership development for community college employees has occurred either through formal education in graduate programs, or through leadership programs offered as professional development (Watts & Hammons, 2002b). Community college leadership programs in the academy have historically focused on preparing administrators for presidencies or preparing community college faculty for leadership positions (Harris, 2002;Chiriboga, 2003, Gonzalez-Sullivan, 2004.…”

“…Furthermore, women in leadership roles often express feeling pressured to maintain notions of the ideal worker (Williams, 2000) and have a shorter tenure in leadership roles than their male counterparts (McKenney, 2000). One way to promote more women to leadership roles is to capitalize on many of the new ''grow your own'' leadership programs that serve as institution-specific professional development (Watts & Hammons, 2002). These programs often plant the seed for individuals to become interested in leadership positions.…”

A review of the articles in this issue highlights how gender as a lens, construct, and identity shapes each current issue within the community college. Using the articles in this issue as a basis, this final article provides a series of recommendations for researchers and practitioners who are interested in identifying causes, methods, and practices for creating more democratic and pluralistic environments.Highlighted in this comprehensive issue of the Community College Journal of Research Practice are many of the gender related issues that are currently impacting community colleges. A select number of articles, books, and reports-as summarized in Drake's chapter that synthesizes the literature on gender in community colleges-have addressed how gender has been used as a lens to examine practices, as an identity that impacts women's experiences, and as a variable that assists to decipher equal (or unequal) representation. Yet few publications have brought together a rich and diverse group of practitioners and scholars to deconstruct how many of the current issues in community college are influencing issues of gender. Bechtold provided a framework to consider the impact of gender within the two-year sector. Garza Mitchell and Eddy further describe the pathways that many women leaders take on their way to mid-level leadership positions while Bailey highlights the important of work=life balance. Drake, as noted above, provides a synthesis of the literature and Green discusses her experiences and career path as a woman of color now leading a college as president. Importantly, gender issues 822 are framed not as a separate and compartmentalized concerns in a series of important issues that community college are facing; rather, gender is a lens, construct, and identity that shapes each current issue within the community college.The purpose of this article is to continue the discussion on the gender related issues in community colleges by providing a series of recommendations for researchers and practitioners who are interested in identifying causes, methods, and practices for creating more democratic and pluralistic environments. Of focus are the ways in which current trends are shaped by gender and how researchers and practitioners need to consider new methods and practices for uncovering and addressing discriminatory practices to capitalize on access to high-level positions and to rethink traditional assumptions about gender in community colleges. I begin by synthesizing the major issues and trends related to gender and community college that are outlined throughout this issue. Following the discussion of the trends are detailed recommendations of ways that community colleges may address these trends. Concluding the article are additional suggestions for researchers who are working to inform new and innovative practices.
