From President to President: Candid Conversations about Community College Advancement
Community college presidents face immense pressure to deliver results: Enroll more students, raise more money, engage more alumni, develop more partnerships, get more “good” publicity. Join us for a special pre-conference workshop just for community college presidents.
CASE President & CEO Sue Cunningham will lead a series of candid conversations with community college presidents about what is working – and what isn’t – in community college advancement today. We will surface challenging questions including:
- How can advancement efforts align to support strategic enrollment management efforts?
- How can advancement efforts support workforce development priorities of the college and community?
- How much time and effort should we put into alumni relations?
- What are the most effective fund-raising strategies (and is my college raising as much as it should be)?
- What are the keys to a high-performing foundation board (and staff)?
- How can I advance the college’s brand and my personal brand more favorably in the media and with stakeholders?
Plus, those who register for the pre-conference will be invited to submit questions and topics ahead of time to be added to the discussion.
This workshop, while led by three experienced presidents, will draw on the experience and expertise of everyone in the room, so plan to share your successes (and challenges) as well.
Please note that you must be a current or incoming community college president or campus CEO in order to register for this pre-conference. Foundation presidents/CEOs should not register for this event.
