Executive Retreats

For most institutions, attending InterEd's highly regarded, drop-dead enjoyable Executive Retreat on Responsible Growth is the first step to increased enrollments, especially enrollments that are congruent with your institution's mission, culture, interests, and resources.

The Executive Retreat is safe, incremental, and allows you the intellectual space and guidance necessary to create the kind of 18 month strategy that will earn you acclaim not only for your results but for the smooth running system you create.

InterEd's Executive Retreats are invitation-only two or three-day experiences. Participants are presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders of adult-centered and professional programs. These one-of-a-kind events began in 2003 as a one-time response to a specific challenge and grew into one of our favorite services. We find the Executive Retreats to be an engaging and fun way to deliver lasting value and build lasting friendships.

Become Your Own Consultant

You don't have to hire consultants in order to accomplish needed deep changes in your organization. InterEd offers you the opportunity to experience the vision, strategy, and tactics you will need to institute significant change.

Regardless of the topic, InterEd's Executive Retreats are one of the best and quickest ways to develop deep knowledge about subjects vital to the working adult and professional higher education industry.

The Experience

Executive Retreats are executive experiences in every sense of the word:

• They are designed and conducted by InterEd's senior executives, individuals who have designed, built, and managed the largest and most successful adult-centered programs in the nation
• They convey senior knowledge simply not available elsewhere
• They are limited to eight participants like yourself
• They understand what drives future success in your role and your next role, and deliver it
• They provide executive-level content, services, lodging, meals, dining, social events, transportation, and amenities for one low fee (no add-ons or other uninspiring surprises)
• They are efficient; we speak executive to executive sans politics.

You can relax at our private upscale mountain lodge and focus on creative engagement, reflection, and strategic planning.

Stay Informed

The Content

Most of the information is not radical and perhaps not even new to you. What will be new, however, is the focus on the tactical and practical steps to making your vision a reality tailored to the circumstances faced by your institution.

InterEd's single-minded focus on helping you formulate a specific change agenda separates Executive Retreats from other conferences or workshops. You learn first-hand from people who have implemented these systems in higher education.

Leadership

Unless otherwise noted, your retreat will be led by Robert W. Tucker, Ph.D., founder and president of InterEd, founder and president of the Phoenix Institute, founder and Executive Editor of Assessment and Accountability Forum, former Executive Vice President of UNext (Cardean Graduate School & Ellis College), and former senior Vice President of the University of Phoenix. Tucker rationalized the university's teaching/learning model and constructed the widely recognized enterprise level quality management system to assess that model in near real-time. Co-facilitators are senior colleagues of Dr. Tucker’s representing high achieving institutions and other leaders in adult-centered higher education.

Cost

The fee for the two and one-half day executive experience onsite includes expenses usually left for the attending institution to pay out of pocket. The fee includes first class lodging, in-state air and ground transportation, local transportation, meals, catered dinners, materials, amenities, hosted social events, entertainment, and pretty much anything else you might want.
