Commission for Administrative Leadership

Commission for Administrative Leadership

Welcome to the website for the Commission for Administrative Leadership! Our commission (otherwise know as “CAL”) has a rich history within the shared governance structure of ACPA. CAL was one of the original commissions established in 1961 with the purpose:

• to establish an organizational framework which would involve ACPA's members more directly in policy formation and professional development;
• to distribute responsibility among a greater number of individuals interested in specific areas of our profession; and
• to provide for broader based participation in the planning and management of the Association.

Since continue to fulfill these and other purposes within ACPA.

You will notice that our logo is an umbrella, which indicates that “administrative leadership” encompasses all areas within higher education. Specifically, CAL studies management concerns and emerging issues facing student affairs administrators within the membership of our entire association. Our "Umbrella Commission" has established task forces and interest groups which explore issues related to a variety of topics – some of these have included the preparation of mid-level managers, alternative funding sources for student development programs, student volunteerism, serving individuals with disabilities, small college/university concerns, and the reaffirmation of the 1967 Statement of the Rights and Freedoms of Students.

CAL continues to have strong involvement in our association through the commitment of our diverse membership. CAL has been formally recognized numerous times for our leadership, and many of our directorate body members have continued within the association in other important leadership capacities.

Within the pages of our website, you will find information about our initiatives, our accomplishments, and our goals. Please feel free to contact us if you wish additional information about CAL!

Sincerely,

Laura A. Bayless, PhD
Chair, Commission for Administrative Leadership
