Development for Deans and Academic Leaders: Fall Session
Boston, MA |
Driven by CASE’s continuing efforts to develop the most relevant content to prepare academic leaders for the changing landscape of advancement, this conference has become the standard of excellence in training for deans, presidents, provosts and other academic leaders with fundraising responsibility.
Offered twice annually, the audience consists of academic leaders looking for a comprehensive introduction to development. Designed to engage learners, the program provides opportunities for sharing of best practice, reflection and networking and has been found most effective when academic and development colleagues attend together. As a result, attendees are strongly encouraged to register as a pair or team.
