Leadership Retreat for Chief Business Officers

Join us at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Join Managing Director Ann Forman Lippens and Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration Rob Cramer for an intimate gathering of chief business and operations officers from leading research institutions. This closed-door conversation will offer a candid space to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of higher education.
 
On the first day, participants will unpack how to respond to evolving threats to research-intensive universities and work through ways to prepare for (and shape) potential disruptive futures. On the second day, conversations will shift to academic cost management and program review, with sessions focused specifically on Provost-CBO collaboration strategies and best practices in academic resource allocation.
