The CAUT Forum for New Presidents will take place June 3 – 4, 2022, at the Ottawa Marriott Hotel and Online. Newly elected academic staff association presidents and presidents-elect are eligible to attend.
The meeting will be held in a hybrid format to allow participants to attend in-person or online. If you have already registered for in-person attendance and would like to change to online participation, send an email to events-evenements@caut.ca.
The purpose of the Forum is to review the services and support offered by CAUT; to discuss the role and responsibilities of academic staff association presidents and their relationships with their members, executive, and committees; to examine ways of building stronger associations and engaging members; and to build a network among colleagues who are new presidents or presidents-elect of other associations.
