Western Association of Schools and Colleges

Last year, featured speaker Jim Doti warned that recovery from the Great Recession would be weak -- and his predictions were right on the mark. Today, public and private institutional alike are struggling to balance their budgets and restructure while protecting educational quality. Presidents and trustees need to know how to lead effectively in this challenging environment.  

We're delighted that Kenneth (Buzz) Shaw will serve as our opening keynoter, sharing his broad experience as Chancellor Emeritus of Syracuse University, University Professor, and a member of the Association of Governing Board's Strategic Finance Initiative, funded by the Lumina Foundation. Dick Osborn, Vice President at WASC and former President of Pacific Union College, will facilitate. WASC President Ralph Wolff will place the day’s discussion in the context of regional accreditation.

The program is geared to presidents and trustees. Consider bringing a team that includes your board chair, chair of the finance committee, and CFO.

Registration opens October 1. Assemble your team of trustees and start planning now.

Cost:

$350/person

Registration: Deadline to register: Friday, November 12, 2010

This educational program is offered as a service to WASC member institutions and others who wish to attend. It is entirely optional, but upon request facilitators can provide information about effective practices that align with WASC accreditation expectations.
