| 2008 The CAO/CFO Collaboration: Building an Effective Partnership |

August 13 - 15, 2008
Doubletree Hotel Washington, Washington, DC

Overview
At no time in the recent history of higher education has the relationship between the chief academic officer (CAO) and the chief financial officer (CFO) mattered more. Innovation requires the academic integrity, foresight, and the financial means to occur. Academic leaders rely on their financial counterparts to support and fund their efforts, and financial leaders rely on academic officers to advance the core mission of the institution.
These individuals who must work so closely together often come from different backgrounds, have different experiences, and have different understandings of the levers and limits of their jobs. In many ways, they speak different languages. As a result, they often find themselves face-to-face trying to bridge different cultures. To help understand and support this important relationship, ACE and NACUBO will bring together CAOs and CFOs for a two-day meeting to address how they can build an effective partnership.
What You Will Learn:
- To identify strategies to build relationships and improve goal achievement
- To explore challenges that interfere with effective engagement
