President-to-President
At its core, the Presidents Institute is designed to provide multiple
opportunities for presidents to share ideas with presidents of similar
institutions. The formal program includes sessions led by presidents,
not only to share effective institutional practices but also to discuss
open-ended issues. In addition, the Institute builds into the schedule
a variety of networking opportunities, including dinners and recreation.
Individual Consultations
Opportunities will again be provided for individuals to hold confidential
conversations with various speakers and sponsors, including retirement
planners from TIAA-CREF.
CIC’s annual membership business meeting takes place at the Presidents Institute on Tuesday, January 7.
Awardees
The Council of Independent Colleges will honor several leading educators
and friends of private higher education at CIC’s annual Awards Banquet
on Monday, January 6.

NOTE: Banquet charges for presidents and spouses who register

Immediately prior to the Presidents Institute, CIC sponsors a day-and-a-half
workshop for recently appointed college leaders, typically in their
first or second year. Workshop leaders are experienced presidents and
other experts. The Workshop also affords opportunities for new presidents
(and spouses) to meet and share ideas with others who are new to the presidency.
Uniquely focused on the needs of leaders of smaller private colleges and
universities, the New Presidents Workshop consistently earns high marks
for value and quality from its participants.

One of the most fundamental responsibilities for presidents is to create
an integrated vision of an institution’s finances. This first-time
workshop will provide understandings and tools that enable presidents

with the finance/business staff and with the board, and determine financial
strategies. The workshop is co-sponsored by the National Association of
College and University Business Officers (NACUBO).
Topics
Assessing the Financial Health of the Institution: audit, balance sheet, and income and expense statements; critical numbers and ratios; tuition and discounting; cash flow; role of endowment; and management of debt
Building Critical Relationships: functions of the financial/business office, relationship of president and the chief financial/business officer, and communication with the board

and budgeting; income and expense projections; realistic cost analysis

Presidential spouses are a heterogeneous group of individuals with a wide range of concerns. Some have full- or part-time positions outside the home while others devote their full energies to the work of a presidential spouse. Developed by an advisory group of presidential spouses, the annual Spouses Program runs concurrently with the program for presidents and provides opportunities for spouses of presidents to share information and advice.
Conference Colleague Program: Spouses attending the Presidents Institute for the first time (both spouses of new presidents and first-time participants) may request a Conference Colleague. The program matches a first-time participant with a more experienced participant, who will introduce him or her to colleagues, answer questions about the conference, and share information on the role of the presidential spouse. Colleagues will meet each other on Saturday, January 4, at 4:00 p.m.
