"Leading From the Middle"
July 17-19, 2011
Omni Southpark Hotel
Austin, Texas
Overflow housing is now available
at the Hampton Inn!
The conference, called Leading from the Middle, is designed for mid-level administrators at Texas two-year colleges. It is a kind of "boot camp" for deans, division chairs, IT directors, student services directors, and others as we provide key information and insights to help you succeed in your respective positions. We address legal issues, educational technology, legislative and budget orientation, leadership skills, ethics, and other areas that directly affect their performance.
The Host Hotel is FULL! Overflow rooms have been secured at the Hampton Inn. Just seconds from the Omni Southpark, this property offers complimentary parking, airport shuttle and breakfast. Call today, 512-442-4040 and mention TCCTA to secure the Leading from the Middle room rate of $109.
