We will present a “best practices” session featuring college presidents as a part of our morning President Roundtable Program. The Roundtable regularly receives high accolades for its "off the record" discussion of higher education issues. Over the years we have found that virtually every challenge that you might be experiencing has been successfully met and overcome by at least one president participating in the meeting. One president said that he had saved his institution hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of a discussion concerning operational software.
