For over 20 years, I have accepted higher education administrative opportunities that would allow me to advance to the position of President. I would like to share some of my experiences successfully leading organizational strategic planning processes. My leadership of those strategic processes led to the implementation of processes that moved the organization in the direction that was appropriate for a changing economic environment.
