SCUP

North Atlantic Regional Council

Regional councils are where planning comes together, inspiring members to think globally, and act locally. Grown out of the need to support membership, learning, and event development, the five SCUP regions create member connections, while supporting the development of today and tomorrow’s planning leaders.

The North Atlantic Regional Council represents members from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Hampshire, New York, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Western Europe.

The North Atlantic Regional Council’s work supports SCUP’s strategic plan adopted by the board of directors. The Council’s efforts support the following initiatives:

Engage our Communities in Creating and Delivering Value

  • Strategy: Engagement – Enhance and expand opportunities to connect individuals, institutions, and organizations that advance higher education.

Deliver Learning that Strengthens and Transforms Higher Education Planning

  • Strategy: Individual Learning – Develop, implement, and continually improve a personalized and competency-driven portfolio of learning products.
  • Strategy: Institutional Support – Develop, implement, and continually improve services to develop institutional planning capabilities.

Enhance Value of the Society through Visibility, Outreach and Strategic Partnerships

  • Strategy: Outreach – Develop a framework to connect and engage with a diverse and dynamic array of institutions and corporations.
Leadership Opportunity.

The North Atlantic council is soliciting nominees to join the council. Council members should be committed to the refreshed mission, vision, and values of SCUP, be active in SCUP programs, and be willing and able to get involved in planning and managing conferences, events, forums for membership engagement, and the exchange of ideas to learn from one another and further our collective capacity to employ integrated planning in support of our institutions and firms.

If you are interested in nominating a professional colleague or volunteering yourself, please submit the application using the link below no later than April 26, 2024. Applicants should be able to demonstrate their past involvement/participation in SCUP.
