Campuses will only go as far as their leadership will take them. Often, presidents will look to State Councils for support and sustainment. Participants will explore formal and informal action plans on how State Councils can support presidents based on the recent presidential competencies study commissioned by Academic Search. While campus and State Council leadership is increasingly difficult to navigate, a refocus on competencies can help presidents navigate issues and concerns and ground them to the primary goal: educating amazing students that change their families, communities, and the world.
