Whether you’ve been a department chair for a week or a year, there’s more to the job than you think!

The annual CRA New Chairs Workshop provides those new to the role with essential resources to thrive. Participants will learn from experienced chairs and deans, explore practical solutions to common challenges — such as navigating relationships with administration and faculty, budgeting effectively, and managing personnel issues — and build a supportive network of fellow chairs.

Key workshop benefits include:

• Leadership Development: Enhance your ability to lead your computing department with confidence.
• Practical Strategies: Gain insights for effectively working with deans, provosts, and faculty.
• Actionable Guidance: Address real-world scenarios chairs frequently encounter.
• Networking: Connect with a community of peers and seasoned leaders in computing research.
