In 2005, the Association’s Board of Directors approved the creation of a leadership development program. The seventh iteration of this offering will occur in 2018. Part I will take place March 14-15 at the Charleston Marriott in South Carolina. Part II will take place at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg, Florida on October 8-9, immediately prior to the 2018 Annual Conference which takes place October 10-12.
Individuals who are accepted for the program also will be expected to participate in both the Spring and Fall components, as well as pay the full registration fees to attend the Annual Conference.
The program will feature outstanding guest speakers who possess significant expertise and experience in various aspects of higher education administration. The period between the Spring meeting and October will be devoted to a combination of team and individual projects. Participants will have the opportunity to pursue issues of interest while also developing personal leadership skills.
