Conquer this Phase of Your Career

June 24-26, 2020 | Hosted Online Via Zoom

This summer, we invite you to participate in this online event to find the leadership development you need to be ready for campus life to begin anew. Uncover the impact of auxiliary services on your campus from both a student and financial perspective and why these services are more important than ever before. With a range of interactive educational and networking sessions to engage in, by the end of this three-day Forum, you’ll be ready and excited to apply new strategies, skills, and solutions to your daily work.

The NACAS Virtual Leadership Forum offers a convenient platform for you to collaborate with your peers to solve campus-wide challenges and navigate campus politics. Assess your active contracts and learn best practices to ensure they are monitored effectively. Create a holistic supervisory style as you discuss cross-cultural supervision, implicit bias, and generational differences among students in your care. There’s never been a better time to invest in your leadership.
