Pre- Conference Workshop: Presidential Priorities- Partnering With Advancement to Meet the Moment
Higher education is changing fast — and presidential expectations for advancement are changing with it.
Join three sitting university presidents and their advancement vice presidents for a timely senior leadership conversation about the priorities shaping institutions today: enrollment and revenue disruption, government mandates, public trust in higher education, technology transformation, and the increasing role of principal and transformational gifts.
This session begins with a moderated panel featuring president/advancement leadership pairs sharing real examples of how they work together to meet institutional challenges, engage constituents, and advance mission-critical priorities, including:
- Harrison Keller, Ph.D., President, University of North Texas and Brandon Buzbee, Vice President for Advancement, University of North Texas
- Linda A. Livingstone, Ph.D., President, Baylor University and Jason Diffenderfer, Vice President for University Advancement, Baylor University
- Houston Davis, Ph.D., President, University of Central Arkansas and Mary Bane Lackie, Ed.D., Vice President of University Advancement/President of the UCA Foundation
The second half will shift to an interactive forum for peer exchange and facilitated discussion, giving senior leaders a chance to compare strategies, ask candid questions, and connect with colleagues facing similar pressures.
If you’re navigating institutional complexity and rising expectations, this is the room to be in.
