Chairs and Academic Administrators Management Program

One of the most difficult jobs in academia is taking on the mantle of administration.

As a chair or an academic administrator such as an assistant or associate dean, you assume many hats, such as, the ‘big picture’ leader, the guide and mentor for faculty members, the liaison between your department and stakeholders, the first-line of defense, the gatekeeper, and the role model, making it feel extremely challenging to find balance.

  • How do you grow your program or department when facing tough regional and national competition?
  • How do you balance your own overload, so you can effectively mentor faculty through their challenges and sensitive situations?
  • How do you align your natural leadership strengths with institutional goals and stakeholder expectations?
  • How do you improve your academic culture to promote innovation, collaboration and productivity in a way that makes your faculty feel valued?

With all that’s on your plate, where can you turn to reset, recharge, and regroup? You don’t need to attend another large-scale conference or a chairs webinar. You need practical and effective strategies, interactive learning, and engagement with leaders who have successfully powered through the obstacles you are currently facing.

The Chairs and Academic Administrators Management Program (CAAMP) is the premier department chair and administrator leadership development experience for the academic health professions, a 3-day in-person event that provides practical, hands-on, interactive learning to develop the core competencies required for effectively managing a department or program.

What Our Alumni Say

  • "Taking the time to improve myself professionally is expected; however, taking the time to improve myself personally is a privilege. I expected to learn useful techniques at CAAMP but it was a privilege to genuinely feel a connection that will certainly have an impact in both my professional and personal life. Great conference and highly recommended!"


    Naquilla Thomas, West Georgia Technical College

This fosters an environment where we share best practices for similar challenges and pitfalls. I left this program with many pearls of wisdom that I could actively implement in my work life."
