Area Programming Committee Announces Fall Programs

Several local areas are planning fall professional development workshops for the universities in their regions. These workshops offer training on a number of topics for staff at all levels of the institution. A tremendous benefit of these local workshops is their low cost as well as the opportunity to network with your peers. We encourage you to take advantage of these programs and to become involved with your local area programming committee.

The Buffalo area is planning a Fall workshop on Friday, October 29th to be held at Trocaire College. The program will be a showing of the video, “Performance and Accountability in an Age of Markets: the Changing Definition of Effective Management in Colleges and Universities”. The presenter is Dr. Robert Zemsky, Chair of the Learning Alliance at the University of Pennsylvania. This video was the subject of last spring’s workshops at a number of other EACUBO area programs.

The Rochester area will be holding their annual Fall conference on October 12 at SUNY Geneseo. The theme for the conference is technology applications. The program will include presentations on security and legal issues, communicating with students, and a look at the future of technology, The cost of their program is $35 by credit card and $45 if paid by check.

The Syracuse area will be holding their Fall program on Thursday, December 2nd at the Holiday Inn in Syracuse. Discussion topics will include international taxation, changes in Fair Labor Standards, what some colleges are doing differently in response to Sarbanes-Oxley; and how some institutions have modified their financial systems to produce budget/financial reports in today’s financial formats. Speakers will include representatives from Windstar Technologies, Ernst and Young, Syracuse University, and Rochester Institute of Technology.

New Jersey’s fall workshop will take place on Thursday, November 4th, at Fairleigh Dickinson’s Madison campus. The topics for the full-day session will include:

• Sarbanes- Oxley: Latest interpretations
• Motivating Employees: Creative professional development programming
• Controlling Printing Chaos: Save money and improve service

In addition to these programs, several other areas were still in the process of finalizing their fall offering as this newsletter was going to print so please check EACUBO’s website at www.eacubo.org or contact your local APC representative for more details.
