ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE 2023 - 2024

We are inviting your institution to the annual Academic Management Institute (AMI) in higher education this fall. Organizations are eligible to recommend up to four colleagues from your campus to participate in this one-of-a-kind leadership program. AMI is a leadership program tailored to women's leadership; however, the criteria, qualifications, and participation are not based on gender identity, but on a willingness to commit to advancing women's leadership.  We suggest you choose candidates who show potential to assume or advance their leadership positions at your institution and who can commit to attending each session. Each session this year will be designed to prepare participants to navigate higher education during increasing uncertainty in higher education.

AMI 2023-2024 will be in-person featuring presentations and workshops delivered by higher education leaders and subject experts from Colorado and Wyoming. The year-long institute will also include the option to attend the AMI Reunion in April 2024. AMI sessions include breakouts for in-depth discussions as well as unparalleled networking opportunities. Topics for this year’s institute include leading in ever-changing higher education, developing effective leadership and management skills, engaging issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and enhancing campus-wide strategic planning. In addition, each participant will apply their knowledge by completing a project at their home institution.

The fee of $1500 per person covers six days of programs, including overnight accommodation in Vail for our initial two-day session, along with an additional day of training and development at the optional reunion. This high-quality professional development opportunity allows your campus to invest in its future.

AMI Participant 2018-19 Projects

A HIGHLIGHT OF SELECT PROJECTS

Each year, AMI participants select a project to pursue over the year that will contribute to their growth as leaders in higher education or to their institution, or both. In years past, AMI has encouraged participants to conduct interviews with key leaders on their campus to facilitate their career advancement. In recent years, AMI has broadened the project to include the diverse ways that women leaders may wish to contribute to their colleges. A sampling of the 2018-19 cohort's projects include:
