January Institute for Board Chairs and Presidents of Independent Colleges and Universities

Date:

January 9, 2011 - January 11, 2011

The Winter Institute is now full! Please consider registering for the June Institute, June 20-22, 2011 in Aspen, CO.

This popular program enables both members of an institution's leadership team to strengthen their relationship to benefit their college or university. In a stimulating atmosphere, board chairs and presidents can discover new and better ways to collaborate and lead their institutions.

As the three-day program progresses, participants develop a specific plan that addresses their institution's unique governance needs. Sessions encourage active participation in small-group discussions and with the program's facilitators. Additionally, the program provides ample time for each leadership team to work together privately. This program, limited to 15-17 teams, is held in January and June. More than 400 teams of presidents and board chairs have participated since 1985.

Travel and Accommodations

Accommodations:

The Winter Institute will be held at the Terranea Resort, located just south of Los Angeles and dramatically
poised at the edge of the Pacific Ocean on the Palos Verdes (green trees) Peninsula. Its 102 acres were
once the site of Marineland of the Pacific, a seaside animal theme park, and were subsequently used as a set location for various major motion pictures and television productions. It is the perfect setting for this intensive seminar-like program for board chairs and presidents. Comfortable settings, indoors and out, are available for the one-on-one work sessions and conversations that make this program distinctive and productive. Terranea Resort is 20 miles from the Los Angeles International (LAX) and Long Beach (LGB) airports. The resort offers a host of transportation options from the airport; please contact terraneaconcierge@destinationhotels.com for more information.
