SISG Regional - ECIS Administrator Conference Vienna - 11 April 2012

The purpose of the program is:

To challenge thinking and to provide the tools for board members, school owners, and administrators, to build on their existing knowledge and strengths in order to move on to the next stage of development and organizational alignment.

There will be a definite focus on strategy, effective financial management and organization as they are the backbone of sustainable development. We will also provide the tools for converting strategies into measurable actions. The principles of effective governance will be addressed in relation to the needs of not-forprofit and proprietor schools.

The approach will be highly interactive as the workshop is a mixture of presentations, discussions and group work. We operate under the philosophy that there is much we can learn from one another and this has been central to the success of our program.
