WEBINAR SERIES (Two-Part)

Higher Education Business Models Under Stress:
Planning for Successful Transitions

This two-part webinar series will help build your fiduciary understanding of your institution’s business model as you prepare the campus for a range of possible business transformations, from mergers, strategic affiliations, corporate partnerships, or even the ultimate scenario of a campus closure.

Explore the critical decisions that are triggered as an institution struggles to balance its budget or chooses to shut its doors. Every financially distressed college or university needs a comprehensive set of plans that the board and campus leadership can periodically review if and when continued mission fulfillment is severely challenged or no longer possible.

Part One: Board Oversight of Finance and the Business Model: Key Indicators and Trends for Scenario Planning and Stress Testing

November 15 | 1:00 PM–2:00 PM Eastern

Securing financial viability requires an engaged board that is monitoring the right trends and campus indicators, asking the right questions of campus leaders about the institution’s finances, and doing the scenario planning and stress testing necessary to transform a business model under stress.

The governing board’s fiduciary duty to steward the institution’s financial health requires that boards and leaders consider business model transformations, and plan for a range of scenarios like mergers, affiliations, strategic partnerships, and even–when all other options are exhausted–final transformations such as campus closures when continued mission fulfillment is impossible.

Join a panel discussion on business model transformation moderated by Verne Sedlacek, vice board chair of Valparaiso University with guest panelists Melody Rose, coauthor of AGB’s new book, Higher Education Business Models Under Stress, and AGB consultants Carlton Brown and Larry Ladd, experts in higher education budgeting, finance, and strategic planning.

Who should attend: Trustees, board chairs, presidents, finance committee chairs and members, strategic planners, chief financial officers, academic planners, chief planning officers, campus planners, student affairs, administrators
