We are inviting your institution to the thirty-seventh annual Academic Management Institute (AMI) in higher education this fall. You are eligible to recommend up to four colleagues from your campus to participate in this important 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 2022-2023 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 June of 2023. 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.

If you are responsible for nominating institute attendees, please send the name, title, and contact information for each candidate from your school to Lisa Kinzel at lkinzel@mines.edu by September 1, 2022. An invoice will be mailed to your office after you send your nominations.

If you cannot make the September 1, 2022 deadline or have questions about registration, sessions, or fees, please contact this year's Institute director, Colleen Schaffner at cschaffner@adams.edu. We look forward to having your campus represented this fall and appreciate your continued support of women leaders in higher education throughout Colorado and Wyoming.
