Unfortunately\, most managers are not taught in formal education programs what they most need to know to effectively operate any given functional area. While several models for “good” supervision in student affairs are described in the literature (Upcraft\, 1988; Winston & Creamer\, 1998\, Janosik et al.\, 2003; Stock-Ward & Javorek\, 2003)\, none provide sufficient context to address the complex nature of higher education organizations or meet the goals and objectives outlined of a particular functional area. \nThe goal of this session is to provide a framework (and reference point) for new\, mid-level and senior leaders to create a strong internal infrastructure for any functional area they may oversee. Drawing from the experience of two seasoned leaders in higher education\, the presenters will review ten infrastructural components that are necessary to create a fully functional\, efficient\, and student centered organization. Examples of components include creation of an organizational chart\, communication and collaboration strategies\, creation and measurement of metrics and finally\, strategic planning. Finally\, participants will learn practical strategies and tools they can implement to become more effective leaders. \n \n Register Now\n \n \n \n \n \n \nACPA Individual Member – $10\nACPA International Member – $5\nNon-Member – $20\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Presented by:\nCarlos Gooden\, PhDCollege Counselor\, Collegewise \nMike Hoffshire\, PhDAssistant Dean\, Admissions & Student Affairs\, University of California\, Berkeley \n \n \n \n \n \n PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCIES\nPersonal and Ethical Foundations\nOrganizational and Human Resource\nLeadership\nAdvising and Supporting\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In order to qualify for member rates for an ACPA2GO webinar\, membership with ACPA must be valid through the scheduled webinar date.
