(Donna Ball, Memorial University of Newfoundland) - “Policy Partnerships”
(Michele Gross, University of Minnesota and Heather Foster, University of Texas at San Antonio) - “Policy Teams & Faculty Senate Relationships…Sushi, Booze, and Smoke-Filled Rooms”

Sunday Preconference Workshop
A good, credible and effective policy process is the by-product of dedicated individuals who are focused on making the operational, fiduciary and organizational cogs of an institutional wheel turn uniformly, correctly and legally. To do this, whether one is directing from the top or one of the workers in the middle, there has to be a cohesive, well understood and respected policy process and program in place. Otherwise, with a void in this critical part of institutional management, employees will be left to their own devices, and imagination, in their day-to-day operations.
To raise the profile and address many of the needs of professionals engaged in policy work in the higher education environment, we are offering an interactive workshop that is beneficial to the seasoned policy administrator and for those who are just embarking to tackle the policy process at their institution. The purpose of this workshop is not to simply have the “sage on stage” but to have attendees actively participate and share their knowledge on specific topics, such as:
- Critical Success Factors
(Candice Fischbach, University of Texas at Austin and Donna Meeks, Old Dominion University) - Culture, Challenges, and Cooperation...How to Make it Work
(Joshua Adams, Cornell University) - The Web and Other Technology Tools
(Michele Gross, University of Minnesota)
This session will be held in two parts, and carries an extra fee of $25 to cover refreshments and materials. The second half will include an opportunity for interactive discussion and Q&A.
- Part 1 – 10:00 am – Noon
- Part 2 – 1:30 – 2:45 pm

CACUBO negotiated a room rate with the hotel of $259 (single/double room) or $279 (triple/quad room) plus tax per night. These rates are good from 9/22 – 10/7 to allow for some personal time around the conference.
