Advanced Institute for Managers

Schedule

 

The next Advanced Institute will take place in January or February of 2012. 

 

 

Overview of the Advanced Institute

 

For those of you who have participated in the NACAS Institute for Managers, this program is the next step in your professional development.  Though Institute I is not a prerequisite to AIM, we do ask that attendees have 2-3 years experience in a generalist auxiliary position.

Searching for a hands-on, interactive, small-group experience to take your auxiliary management skills to the next level?  The NACAS Advanced Institute for Managers (AIM) is designed to guide participants through a logical flow of decision-making processes and issues common to auxiliary management. Experience a memorable “roadmap” to customize and use in your own campus support responsibilities. 

 

Gain a more comprehensive understanding of the cycle of auxiliary management through the AIM curriculum.  Each topic will be complemented by the use of an actual case study from our host institution.


The AIM Curriculum Includes:Image

  • Auxiliaries in Campus Culture and Politics
  • Creating a Leadership Vision: Within Yourself and Within Your Team
  • Strategic Planning and Decision Making, Including "Self Op" vs. Outsourcing
  • The Contract Management Cycle: Execute, Implement, and Evaluate
  • Project Management and Maintaining Momentum
  • Becoming an Entrepreneur: Making the Most of Business Partner Relationships
  • To Market, To Market: Driving Auxiliaries Forward
  • Issues in Higher Education Finance

To maximize this learning opportunity, each attendee will be asked to complete work ahead of time through an online networking community.  For lasting impact, it will remain open to allow future sharing of ideas and resources within your cohort.  Our goal is to help you create a long-lasting support network of colleagues invested in each other’s success.

 

The Advanced Institute for Managers alternates yearly with our Institute for Managers, and is generously supported by the NACAS Education Foundation.

 

Reviews from Past Participants

"My ID Card Office Manager, attended the Advanced institute for Managers in January in Atlanta.  Although I was pleased with her nightly e-mails to me regarding how much she was learning, I was even more impressed when she returned to the office.  Not only has she expanded her global perspective on auxiliary services functions, but she has shown marked improvement in her project management skills.  From a director's perspective, it was well worth the money spent for her to have this educational experience."

 

Thank you to the following Business Partners for their generous sponsorships of our recent January 2010 event!
