P. 8
BY RICHARD STRAND
In the early 1990s there was a furry of
activity surrounding a new initiative
that was underway in Phoenix,
Arizona; one that was gaining
traction and capturing the attention
of leaders across the landscape of
post-secondary education. With the
encouragement of Chancellor Paul
Elsner, Mesa Community College
President Larry Christiansen, and
the support of a district-wide team of
interested stakeholders, a newly created
organization was established under the
direction of Dr. Gary Filan - the Chair
Academy was born. Its mission: “To
facilitate the training and development of
leaders across the enterprise of education
as part of a much broader institutional
succession planning process.”
