Leadership at the Forefront: Secure Your Seat in Strategic Planning

Being assertive about getting involved as a senior marketing leader is essential to the prosperity of your institution’s strategic plan. 

It takes a courageous leader to have tough conversations about institutional futures. But with the enrollment cliff on the horizon, it’s crucial now more than ever to develop and implement a strategic plan. 

We’re joined by Rob Zinkan, the Vice President for Marketing Leadership at RHB to discuss all things strategic planning, courageous leadership, and even Indiana basketball.

If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.
