Although women now hold over a quarter of all community college presidencies, their numbers are not proportional to the percentage of community college female students or female faculty. As a consequence, the full impact of their perspectives, contributions, and role modeling has yet to be felt. To provide insights for women considering the presidency and colleges in support of them, this study addressed three research questions: What is the decision process used by successful female community college presidential candidates?, Are there themes to participant attribute responses permitting creation of a logical competency taxonomy?, and Did the hiring qualifications used by the community colleges match characteristics identified by the successful applicants and those found in research literature?

520 $a Although women now hold over a quarter of all community college presidencies, their numbers are not proportional to the percentage of community college female students or female faculty. As a consequence, the full impact of their perspectives, contributions, and role modeling has yet to be felt. To provide insights for women considering the presidency and colleges in support of them, this study addressed three research questions: What is the decision process used by successful female community college presidential candidates?, Are there themes to participant attribute responses permitting creation of a logical competency taxonomy?, and Did the hiring qualifications used by the community colleges match characteristics identified by the successful applicants and those found in research literature?
520 $a Eight female community college presidents from across the United States were interviewed for one to two hours in this convenience sample qualitative research study. The women were all within the first two years of official appointment, two having applied as external candidates, three as internal candidates, and three as "acting" presidents. In addition, each provided background information via a researcher-designed questionnaire, copies of their vitae, hiring announcements from their colleges, and, when available, presidential job descriptions.
520 $a Two major themes evolved from interview transcript evaluation: professional preparation and personal considerations. Professional preparation factors included early developmental experiences, education and training, community and professional association experiences, and work experiences. Motivation, lifestyle, relationships, support systems and position fit comprised the personal considerations. Each component was also further defined and explained in relation to the constructs of social cognitive career theory. Theme analysis of presidential attributes noted by the women resulted in five categories and 19 competency statements described via specific skills and behaviors. Comparison of these competencies to attributes found in college hiring materials and in prior research resulted in identification of both similarities and differences.
520 $a Based on findings, recommendations are made to females considering the community college presidency and to community colleges for building policies and practices that will increase the representation of women in the role.
