INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
In 2005, the Association’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a leadership development program aimed at individuals in ASAHP member institutions. The fourth iteration of this offering will occur in 2011 with Part I scheduled for March 15-16 in New Orleans, LA immediately preceding the start of the Association’s 2011 Spring Meeting, which is on March 17-18. Part II will take place in Scottsdale, AZ on October 17-18 immediately prior to the 2011 Annual Conference, which is on October 19-21.
Individuals who are accepted for the program also will be expected to register and participate in both the Spring Meeting and the Annual Conference. They also will pay the full registration fees to attend these events.
The period between March and October will be devoted to a combination of team and individual projects.
- No fewer than 10 and not more than 15 participants will be selected. Normally, no more than one person will be selected from any single member institution.
- Eligible applicants include: department chairpersons, associate/assistant deans, and new deans (appointed within the previous 24 months at the time of applying). Self-nominations are permissible.
- The registration fee for each participant is $500. Expenses for lodging, travel, and meals will be the responsibility of either the individual participant or the institution.
- Applications must be submitted electronically by the close of business on November 30, 2010 to Thomas@asahp.org.
Case studies on key topics pertaining to higher education administration are an important program component. Participants will be placed in teams focusing on issues of mutual interest while also having an opportunity to pursue activities along lines of developing personal leadership skills.
The program will feature outstanding guest speakers. Dr. Andrew Sorensen is a former Provost at the University of Florida and prior to retirement, he served as President of the University of Alabama and the University of South Carolina. He currently is head of the major development campaign at The Ohio State University.
Nikki Krawitz, Vice President of Finance and Administration for the University of Missouri System, received the 2010 Distinguished Business Officer Award from the National Association of College and University Business Officers. It’s the highest individual honor of the association, recognizing individuals who have made outstanding contributions to business and financial management in higher education.
