ACUHO-I /APPA Housing Facilities Conference
SPECIAL EVENTS

APPA Supervisor’s Toolkit
Tuesday, October 12 – Friday, October 15

The educational facilities workplace has been transformed in recent years by a variety of forces. Intense competition, advancing technology, changing values, and a global economy have created new possibilities as well as challenges. This transformation is changing the nature of management and the roles of supervisors. Supervisors must develop a systematic approach toward organizing, managing, motivating, and meeting customer expectations. 

The traditional role of the supervisor/manager is no longer adequate. The new business environment demands leadership. APPA’s Supervisor’s Toolkit has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the facilities management professional. It is a structured, open-ended, and pragmatic approach to developing supervisors. It is not so much a teach program as a development process, designed to help supervisors realize both personal and professional growth.

Not registered but interested in the program?  Stop by the ACUHO-I/APPA Resource Center for additional information.
