Why You Need to Attend the CASE Summit for Leaders in Advancement

Getting together in community and for fresh perspectives with other leaders is more important now than ever. The CASE Summit for Leaders in Advancement is our time and place to do just that.

I am proud to chair the planning committee for this event that brings together more than 700 senior-level advancement and institutional leaders—presidents, vice presidents, and others in leadership roles across communications, development, and alumni and stakeholder relations—to connect, expand our leadership competencies, and provide insight into the challenges and opportunities we are facing during this extraordinary time. 

I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the planning committee. We spent a great deal of time together building the program, and I assure you it will be helpful to your work.

To give you a sense of what you can expect, here is an overview of the agenda:

• On the first day, we will look at challenges with new insights.
• The second day will be dedicated to tangible tools to address those demands and lead more effectively.
• Finally, on the third day, we will celebrate the ways we impact the world through our shared work in this great industry.
   

We are inviting experts and game changers from inside and outside of our profession to foster meaningful dialogue and present strategies for building institutional trust, ensuring our campuses are addressing civic challenges, and engaging with the community in support of the good work that happens every day at our institutions.

I hope to see you in July in NYC!
