Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) to Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Institute December 4 - 6, 2018 ~ Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) 1307 New York Ave NW, Washington, DC 20005 Chief Diversity Officer to Chief Executive Officer Institute December 4 - 6, 2018 Dear CoopLew Friends and Colleagues, CoopLew is excited to welcome you to its inaugural CDO-to-CEO Institute! With the support and partnership of Academic Search, the Association of Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU), TIAA, and Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, we are pleased to present to you an extraordinary array of nationally recognized experts to help you design a path to a senior-level leadership position in a college or university. Our collaboration represents a new paradigm for positioning CDOs for advancement to CEOs, and for diversifying the landscape of leadership in the academy. Your presence here with us, in our nation’s capital, helps keep in motion the CoopLew Promise to serve diversity officers at all phases of their careers. We aspire to identify, encourage, and support a comprehensive and effective network of diversity professionals in the academy and you are now part of this initiative. Thank you for joining us. The CoopLew inaugural CDO-to-CEO institute will be at once, both an intellectual and practical experience. It includes discussion of central academic concerns, along with a series of presentations designed to explore issues and answer questions about various segments of CEO responsibility. All prominent higher education leaders, the institute presenters will offer a cross section of experiences and perspectives, including journeys taken by CEOs who were once CDOs; informative analyses by leaders of national higher education organizations; and authentic, unrestrained exchanges with former CEOs. We expect that the value of the information provided in these sessions will help guide you towards successful transitions to top positions in American higher education institutions. A special highlight of our inaugural institute is the keynote address that will be delivered by Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, III, President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County since 1992. Dr. Hrabowski’s stellar career has resulted in his identification as one of American’s Best Leaders by U. S. News and World Report in 2008, and by Time Magazine as one of America’s 10 Best College Presidents in 2009 and one of 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2012. Dr. Hrabowski has motivated professionals in higher education to advance in their fields, break barriers, and shape new paradigms. His participation in the institute is both meaningful and inspiring because it exemplifies the paradigm shift that will be realized as CDOs emerge on the higher education scene to become viable candidates for CEO positions in the 21st century. We are confident that you will be enlightened and inspired as you experience the Institute. The program is a manifestation of the CoopLew Promise to promote CDO resolve and resilience, while creating roadmaps to CEO leadership. Few venues exist where concerns of CDOs about their readiness for institutional leadership can be addressed and resolved. This Institute intends to serve that purpose. In service, with our Promise for transformative diversity leadership, Ken Coopwood, Sr., Ph.D., CDE, CDROI William T. Lewis, Sr., Ph.D. Co-Founder, CoopLew, LLC Co-Founder, CoopLew, LLC William B.
