FRA 12 - Financial Research Administration 12 Conference

Welcome

Dear Colleagues,

The theme of this year´s conference is “Looking Forward Strategically: Balancing Collaboration, Problem-Solving, and Accountability.” As we all know, financial research administration is more than accounting and enforcing rules. To be successful, it takes research administrators who can build on an understanding of policy, compliance, and financial management. It takes someone who can work together with many different groups of people−on and off campus. It takes someone who can look at a situation creatively and come up with solutions that address the needs and concerns of multiple constituencies. In short, it takes research administrators who can strategically balance all aspects of their job to be successful.

For this year´s conference, we will be offering more sessions and learning opportunities than ever before! We want to learn and discuss what it takes to be a successful financial research administrator. There will also be more opportunities for people to meet with peers and colleagues to share their experiences (and have some fun, too). Most of all, we want everyone to be able to come away from the meeting with ideas and strategies that will help them going forward.

See you in San Diego!

Sincerely,

FRA 12 Co Chairs
