- Assessment Network of New York (ANNY)
Founded in June 2010, the Assessment Network of New York (ANNY) is a growing organization of assessment professionals from across the state. Serves
the interests of individuals who seek support, networking opportunities, training
and an understanding of assessment and evaluation best practices.
- Association for Institutional Research (AIR), and the Association of Institutional
Research and Planning Officers (AIRPO)
Institutional research as a profession is often connected with academic assessment.
MCC's Institutional Research Office is a member of two IR-oriented organizations,

skills associated with good assessment practices.

and sharing of best practices in the profession. At most AIR-sponsored events, an
assessment track is included, providing important opportunities for professional development.
- AIRPO is a New York based organization similar to AIR, but focusing significantly on issues
related to SUNY schools. In recent years, the annual spring conference has also included
sessions for professionals for whom assessment is their responsibility.
