The program coaches are colleagues and ELAM faculty. http://www.aamc.org/meetings/teamworks/start.htm   The Chairs and Academic Administrators Management Program (CAAMP) is a 3.5-day workshop designed to give these uniquely positioned managers and leaders the skills and confidence to balance competing demands and priorities and manage diverse programs and people. CAAMP is based on a simple model of developing competency. We believe competent managers and leaders exhibit a combination of skills, knowledge and attitudes.  CAAMP addresses all three areas through the domains of academic management, key relationships, and personal and professional development.   Registration Deadline: June 1, 2009 Program Dates: July 23-26, 2009 Location:   University of the Pacific Arthur A.
