  • What people are saying about their experience with the Treasury Institute

    In late July I attended the College Business Management Institute (CBMI), which is celebrating it's 70th Anniversary. This week-long event is hosted by the beautiful facilities at the University of Kentucky. It was a wonderful conference which was rich in classroom time. The instructing faculty were some of the most intelligent finance professionals I have come across during my time in higher education. The attendees were also rich in experience and so many meaningful connections were made. The program I chose focused on Higher Education Treasury Management- specifically endowment and operating investments, resource allocation, capital financing, asset/debt management, and compliance. I'm thankful for the support of Vanderbilt while chasing after this opportunity. I'm looking forward to taking the tools and theories CBMI has provided back to my role with Vanderbilt!

  • What people are saying about their experience with the Treasury Institute

    I attended my first Treasury Symposium in 2012 after joining higher education only three months prior. Not only was I impressed with the tremendous knowledge shared by the faculty and sponsors, but I was also blown away by the networking and willingness of other schools to share their experiences and best practices. I’ve attended each year since! The content is always relevant, timely, and well presented. The opportunity to network with treasury folks from other institutions is truly one of the most valuable parts of attending Symposium. Connecting with the various sponsors is easy to do given the networking breaks and the events often hosted by sponsors in the evenings. Whether you’re new to higher education treasury, as I was during my first Symposium, or you’re a more seasoned veteran, everyone who attends will benefit from the industry expertise and networking available.

  • What people are saying about their experience with the Treasury Institute

    Over my 40-year career, with 25 of those in Treasury, I’ve attended various educational seminars at least annually. I have found the Treasury Institute's to be the most relevant of those seminars to my current position as Treasurer of a large public University. The subject matters are timely, relevant, presented well, collaborative, sometimes entertaining, and always useful. I’ve confidently implemented several treasury operations process improvements generated from the ideas shared.

  • What people are saying about their experience with the Treasury Institute

    I see the Annual Treasury Symposium both sustain and grow in value to attendees and the industry overall. There continues to be tremendous change in payment technology, fintech innovation, and as well as broad industry transformation. This changing landscape presents finance leaders with opportunities to transform their institutions. Given this outlook, the Treasury Symposium has the opportunity to be the place for those critical discussion and collaboration opportunities.

  • WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THE TREASURY INSTITUTE

    I feel fortunate to have the resources of the Treasury Institute for Higher Education available to me and my staff at Michigan State University. The Treasury Concepts program was a good introduction to treasury activities in higher education and the annual symposium provided my staff and me with regular updates and the opportunity to share ideas with colleagues from across the nation. The Tax Exempt Bond Conference provided a forum like no other for sharing of information across universities, investment bankers, bond counsel and rating agencies. Last but not least, the DSS-PCI Workshops were extremely helpful in a rapidly changing regulatory environment. Thank you for all that you do for higher education treasury professionals. .
