The CAO and CFO Collaboration:
Working Effectively in Difficult Economic Times
July 29–31, 2009, Washington, DC
At no time in the recent history of higher education has the
relationship between the chief academic officer (CAO) and the chief
financial officer (CFO) mattered more. A successful response to the
economic crisis is dependent upon a common understanding of the
situation and mutually agreed upon goals and strategies. Together, they
must seek ways to be financially prudent while taking advantage of the
opportunities for innovation that present themselves during such
challenging times. Innovation requires academic integrity, foresight,
and financial means. Academic leaders rely on their financial
counterparts to support and fund their efforts, and financial leaders
rely on academic officers to advance the core mission of the
institution.
These individuals who must work so closely together often come from
different backgrounds, have different experiences, and have different
understandings of the levers and limits of their jobs. In many ways,
they speak different languages. As a result, they often find themselves
face-to-face trying to bridge different cultures. To help understand and
support this important relationship, ACE and NACUBO will bring together
CAOs and CFOs for a two-day meeting to address how they can build an
effective partnership and to meet the challenges of our current economic
environment.
Objectives
- To facilitate discussions between two of the most significant
leaders on college and university campuses
- To encourage strategic communication between these leaders as they
confront a challenging economic environment
- To explore challenges that interfere with effective engagement
- To identify strategies to build relationships and improve goal
achievement

- Morris Beverage, President, Lakeland Community College (OH)
- Carol Cartwright, Interim President, Bowling Green State University
(OH) and President Emerita of Kent State University (OH)
