2016 INSTITUTE ON MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP
|
|
Important Dates:
February 3, 2016
at 12:00pm EST
February 10, 2016
|
Institute Theme: Growing Capacity: Cross-Boundary Collaboration
The 2016 Institute will focus on Growing Capacity: Cross-Boundary Collaboration. In response to a changing landscape and new citizen expectations, governments and corporate entities have an opportunity to re-imagine their work together, redefine their roles, and navigate new processes to create authentic partnerships that are more than just transactional, one-way relationships. While these changes can help make government work better for citizens, grow capacity, and capitalize on new technologies and data, this shift necessitates accessing entrenched business models, driving structural transformations, and educating legislators and other key stakeholders.

content that the Association develops for its members. Innovation rarely happens in a vacuum and I value NASCA's commitment to and focus on highlighting creative new ways that government can be more efficient and effective in delivering public services. NASCA offers its members invaluable opportunities to network and forge relationships with key partners in other states across the nation. I would encourage other leaders in state government to join NASCA to share their ideas and learn what others are accomplishing for our citizenry."

PARTNER ASSOCIATION SPOTLIGHT
|
|
Construction Owners Association of America (COAA)
The
Construction Owners Association of America's mission is to support facility owners in the planning, design, and construction process through education and information exchange to facilitate continuous improvement and evolution of the industry. COAA members include scores of entities that buy design & construction services including higher education, local and state government organizations, healthcare organizations, k-12 school systems and a variety of private companies.
TRAINING COURSES
COAA has developed a series of 1-, 1.5-, and 2-day intensive training courses geared to the facility owner. These 13 courses are taught by a team of 3 presenters representing the owner, designer, and the contractor. COAA can deliver these courses as a stand-alone event or it can be brought in-house to the owner, which saves travel, food and lodging costs for each participant. Owners can also bring in their building partners to share in the education. NASCA state members might find the training helpful for their facilities personnel.
Upcoming Courses
WEBINARS
COAA conducts affordable webinars every other month (February, April, June, August, October, and December). Much of the content is drawn from the highest rated educational sessions from our conferences and chapter workshops. Webinars are $99/members and $149/nonmembers. Past webinars are available "on demand." Many of our webinar participants buy one registration, set up a conference room, and involve groups of people from the office. As a group they can participate in the Q & A. This is a super affordable way to disseminate owner education on a budget.
