PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Thursday, October 9, 2008 8:45 a.m.-12:00 Noon
Consortium Design 102: Collaborative Leadership for Consortium Directors
Pre-registration Fee: $100.00 per person
Last year’s first pre-conference workshop was a success with new -- and not-so-new -- consortium directors who gained valuable insights into planning, designing and building the structures they need for effective collaboration. This year, we are following up with a second session where you will interact with veteran consortium leaders, explore key competencies you will need to succeed, and get ideas to help solve the challenges you are facing.
Mr. Mark Bilotta of the Colleges of Worcester Consortium, Inc. and Dr. Mary Frances Forcier of the Colonial Academic Alliance will lead this session, which will include the development of a “toolkit” of skills you can use to tackle your most pressing organizational issues, as well as an opportunity for “free consulting” and networking with peers. Attendees will complete pre-conference surveys and readings to enhance and tailor the experience to their particular needs.
Agenda
8:45-9:00 a.m. Welcome
9:00–10:00 a.m. Session I
Toolkit for Success
"Collaborative Leadership” is at the heart of what we do as consortium leaders. Learn about essential tools for collaborative leadership, as well as the nuts-and-bolts issues of managing your fiscal resources, communicating over time and distance, and assessing consortial programs.
10:00–10:15 a.m. Break
10:15–11:00 a.m. Session II
The Year in Review: “How Did We Use What We Learned?”
Consortium Directors who attended the 2007 workshop return to share with us their biggest challenges and greatest rewards over the past year.
11:00a.m.-12 noon Session III
Free Consulting!
Attendees will learn and use a facilitation skill
while exploring particular challenges they face.
Attendees will complete a pre-conference survey to help tailor the event, and to provide information about their fellow attendees to support follow-up networking. Pre-conference readings will be provided via email.
