During the 2016 event, the participants brainstormed and came to a consensus on the theme for 2017: Negotiating the Ask: Your Role in Advancement, a timely and applicable topic for presidents.
Why: The president's role in advancement and fundraising is a critical contributor to the health of an institution, as well as to the success of its leader. You will hear from sitting presidents, each other, and experts in the field on:
- building trust and respect with donors,
- managing board of trustee giving,
- creating an effective advancement team partnership,
- fundraising in challenging institutional cultures and contexts,
- traveling with donors, and other topics.

What presidents have to say about past CWLIs:
“This was an exceptional opportunity to constructively engage critical topics of the presidency with strong female leaders at colleges and universities across America. I appreciated the diversity of experience and the different perspectives offered. I am taking back ideas that I believe will fundamentally help me become a stronger leader at my institution.”
