Managing Conflict Workshop

The American Council on Education advanced leadership workshops first launched in 2006, are designed for academic administrators and experienced chairs. Participants have included alumni from the national programs, other experienced chairs and a range of administrators including deans and provosts. In 2009 ACE will offer two advanced workshops: Managing Conflict and Leading, Managing, Supporting and Navigating Change.

These programs focus intensively on an overarching issue that affects institutions at both the departmental and institutional levels. Essential to the philosophy of the program is to bring together participants from disparate structural levels to deal with issues that affect the functioning of the whole institution in a fundamental manner.

The MANAGING CONFLICT WORKSHOP will be held in the historic Allerton Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.

This session will build on the three-hour session offered in the national program.

The faculty for this workshop will be ACE's veteran presenters in conflict management: Walter H. Gmelch and Mary Lou Higgerson. The workshop structure will enable participants to reflect on their conflict management style and experiment with colleague teams on solutions for conflicted situations. There will be an opportunity for participants to examine their own departmental or campus conflict situations.

Register early, seating is limited.
