About The Treasury Institute
The Treasury Institute promotes excellence in treasury and financial management through developing educational programs and the sharing of best practices. Our goals are to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and service delivery of the treasury and financial operations of education institutions by developing and offering program content of superior quality.
Mission
The mission of the Institute is to provide superior-quality, practitioner-driven content within the higher education treasury and finance community by connecting people, ideas, and solutions.
Governance
The Treasury Institute is governed by a board that consists of representatives from different schools, each representing a target constituency for membership in the Institute - e.g., public, private, northeast, southeast, Midwest, west. The board appoints two executive directors to manage the operations of the Institute.
Target Market
The Treasury Institute is targeting senior and mid-level treasury and financial professionals at larger education institutions. While institutions with smaller operating budgets could also derive benefit from The Treasury Institute, the intended focus on more advanced issues in treasury management will appeal to mid-sized and larger institutions. The Institute is designed to appeal to individuals that are decision-makers or critical influencers in treasury operations. Further, it is designed for institutions that would seek to enhance the effectiveness of treasury operations, efficiency of cash flow, and performance of operating cash investments.
Support
Financial support initially came from the Institute's Founding Partner, Commonfund, and subsequently, annual support is received from the Founding Partner and a limited number of supporters. Thought Leadership Alliances have been established with the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) and The Association of Financial Professionals (AFP). The Executive Directors and Board of Directors, together with the Founding Partners, Alliance Partners, and Supporters, ensure that the Institute serves as a valuable educational resource for treasury professionals within higher education.
