SUMMARY:Understanding Budgeting and Strategic Fiscal Planning
DESCRIPTION:We're not just talking about numbers--we're talking about how financial decisions reflect leadership values, trust, and institutional alignment. This workshop equips department chairs and heads with practical budgeting principles and decision-making tools to align spending with strategic priorities. Participants will learn more about institutional budgeting structures, how departmental budgets are developed, and strategies for balancing restricted and unrestricted funds while making transparent, equitable fiscal choices. Through a panel of campus leaders and hands-on scenario planning, attendees practice justifying decisions and communicating priorities to faculty and leadership.    Current department heads and chairs will receive an Outlook calendar event with a corresponding Zoom link.
