Events: Leading From the Middle 2009
"Leading From the Middle"
July 19-22, 2009
YO Ranch Resort
Kerrville, Texas
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.
