The ACC was a great way for me to meet other department chairs across the country. It was helpful to know that I wasn't alone in the challenges of being a department chair and that I could troubleshoot issues with these colleagues.

Too often as chairs, we labor alone in one of the most difficult, demanding, and chaotic positions in higher education. The ACC provides an outlet to help us better understand our roles while providing a myriad of ways to implement them with greater efficiency and effectiveness.

The Academic Chairpersons Conference is beneficial for chairpersons across disciplines, institutional types, and years of experience. It provides the time, environment, and expertise to foster rich discussion, idea-sharing, and networking that will prove beneficial in the present moment, as well as long into the future!

I enjoyed the ACC and found it to be a very useful forum for professional development. The opportunity to interact with and learn from fellow Chairpersons from a wide variety of institutions is extremely important... I look forward to attending again in the future.
