As we prepare for the upcoming 2009 Annual FAU Board of Trustees retreat, we are pleased to provide you with what we hope will be an easier – and greener! – way for you to preview information on some of the topics we plan to discuss and to complete several pre-retreat exercises designed to assure a quick start on our retreat agenda.   The menu bar located on the left of this homepage provides links to the various exercise materials and readings.  

In order to complete the pre-retreat exercises, please review progress on the Goals of the 2003-2013 Florida Atlantic University Strategic Plan by clicking on the indicated Goal on the menu bar.  When you have completed your review, click on “Pre-retreat Exercises” and complete the two exercises.  Further information will be provided on the instruction sheets therein.  Please submit your completed exercises (you will be able to do so via the web!) at your earliest convenience, but please no later than 12:00 noon on Friday, September 18.

Lastly, several sample portfolios of searches conducted by other universities and articles of general interest on presidential searches and leadership qualities are provided for your review.  Please note:  Additional readings may be posted to this site prior to the retreat.

Please feel free to contact Dr. Kristen Murtaugh at murtaugh@fau.edu or 561.297.1376 if you have any questions.
