A new addition to the 2012 calendar is the ACBSP Leadership Institute. The workshop, themed “Setting the Table for Success,” is geared towards new and aspiring deans and program chairs. Some topic areas include establishing or enhancing business community support, building a shared vision for the program and university, succession planning, and establishing one’s “own style” of leadership.

The day and a half workshop takes place on June 14-15, 2012, immediately prior to the 2012 Annual Conference in Baltimore, Maryland. Registration is separate from the Annual Conference registration. Visit the Leadership Institute page to download a brochure, see an agenda, and view fees. Registration is open now.

Information is now available for you to make plans to attend the 2012 ACBSP Annual Conference, scheduled for June 15-18 in Baltimore, Maryland. The conference theme is "Sustaining Excellence Through Quality Business Education.” An Exhibitor Prospectus was released in September. A Conference Promotional Flyer was released in October. When you make your budget and travel plans, consider the opportunity to attend the Pre-Conference Workshop or the new ACBSP Leadership Institute for deans and department chairs.

A Call for Presentations was issued in September, 2011. Three concurrent conference tracks – teaching excellence, the accreditation process, and the conference theme – will be presented. See the Call for Presentations for details and requirements. The deadline for submission of presentations is January 31, 2012.
