As institutional budgets tighten, consortia are navigating difficult decisions about where to invest limited resources and how to sustain programs that may be among the first affected by budget reductions. This coffee chat and panel will explore how consortia are prioritizing activities, adapting professional development, and making the case for continued investment in staff development. Panelists will share approaches, challenges, and opportunities for leveraging the consortial model to support member institutions in a constrained financial environment.
Presenters:
Derek Vaughan, Vice President for Finance and Administration at the Great Lakes Colleges Association
Betsy Hutula, Chief Operating Officer and Vice President for Administration at Associated Colleges of the Midwest
Yvette Morneau, Director of Business Services and Treasurer at Five Colleges, Incorporated
Coffee Chats provide space for members to connect informally around a topic of common interest. These unrecorded sessions are lightly facilitated with guiding questions that allow for free flowing conversation and sharing of wisdom and experience.
Open to ACL members only.
