Conference Call For Proposals

The Conference Goal is to provide programs that specifically address the administrative and academic needs of college and university leaders, develop the skills required for effective leadership, and maximize the opportunity for conference participants to interact with each other.

The Chair Academy invites you to submit a proposal, summarizing a presentation, you would like to share with our conference participants at our 25th Annual International Leadership Conference, in San Antonio, Texas.

Presentations are to be relevant, useful, and practical to the complex role of educational leaders. Sessions are NOT to promote publications or other materials that involve remuneration, advertise consulting services, or endorse commercial ventures. All sessions are participant centered, rather than lecture format, and actively involve participants through discussions and activities.
