Presidents'/Vice Presidents' Executive Education Roundtable

Candidates apply to become a part of a cohort and pledge to support their fellow members.  The power of peers concept necessitates we help one another succeed.  PEER is not a training program, it is a support network.  We help each other become presidents and vice presidents and to succeed once we are in place.

We careful vet former and successful presidents and vice presidents.  More than half of our faculty are people of color as our primary mission is to extend opportunity to all communities.

The program is designed for anyone aspiring to be or to be successful as a college or university president or vice president.  The target audience is current and future deans, directors, vice presidents, provosts, and presidents.

There are five major elements to the program, 1) individual coaching, 2) group coaching, 3) peer support, 4) a library of resources, and 5) special events and activities, such as mock interviews, gatherings, and guest speakers.

Each cohort is guided by a former or retired president or vice president who provides individual coaching sessions and separate group coaching sessions for 6 to 18 months to help each individual member secure their next position and then become successful when they are in place. 

Cohorts start every quarter.  However, future members should join at any time as their individual coaching sessions can start in advance of a cohort forming. 

Each cohort is 8 to 16 members and contains a mix of deans, directors, vice presidents and current presidents.  Separate (and optional) affinity groups of current and alumni members who gather by topical or demographic groups such as black women, Latinx, administrative vice presidents, or liberal arts provosts.

Members and alumni who make referrals or members from the same institution receive a discount based upon the number of members who join.  Contact [email protected] for more information.
