SICCM

The Southern Illinois Collegiate Common Market (SICCM) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation organized in 1973. The consortium is governed by a Board of Directors composed of presidents and chancellors of participating institutions and is staffed by eight professional and one operational employee. SICCM was organized to provide a means of sharing human and material resources in higher education to fast-growing institutions within the consortium... Sixty percent of the 25 counties (some portions) served by the five community colleges are included in the Lower Mississippi Delta Development region. In 1990, the Delta Commission, chaired by President Bill Clinton, then Governor of Arkansas, made recommendations to President George Bush for improvement of the quality of life in this large poverty-stricken seven-state region.
