2019 Facilities Working Group
Overview
The purpose of the CCCU Facilities Working Group meeting is to assemble key leaders from around the CCCU that play a role in the leadership and management of campus facilities. The working group will convene at Biola University in conjunction with the annual CCCU CFO Gathering and, newly added, Human Resources Gathering.
Every CCCU institution has one major similarity: The impact of major change on legacy facilities. The reality is that every school is an enterprise, and relative to its size, each campus has a significant investment in its campus. In light of the increasing pressure on operations, the Facilities Working Group meeting has a three-part purpose: 1) To equip private Christian college campus facilities decision-makers for what most industry-watchers expect to be a decade of radical change, 2) Create an opportunity to network and share with like-minded professionals, and 3) To provide a professional development opportunity for CCCU member facilities directors.

Joint Plenary Session: Whole and Intentional Leader Development*
As leaders, the job of developing other leaders is one of our most important charges, but so few of us were given the tools to effectively scale our efforts. We may have been trained in a specific profession, but have been forced to rely on our experience alone when it comes to investing in and inspiring faithful leaders all around us. Dr. Rob McKenna is the Founder of WiLD Leaders, Chair of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Seattle Pacific University, and author of numerous publications including his most recent book Composed: The Heart and Science of Leading Under Pressure. A unique combination of scholar and leader, Dr. McKenna will offer us practical and research-based insight for developing whole leaders on our campuses and in our communities.

Travel & Accommodations
Biola’s campus rests on the border of Orange and Los Angeles counties, putting students just minutes from all that Southern California has to offer — including entertainment, cultural riches and a wealth of internship and career opportunities. Surfing and sunbathing are a mere 25 miles away. Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm are even closer. Half an hour up the freeway in Los Angeles, students can catch TV tapings, peruse the Getty Center’s vast art collection or soak up live music at historic theaters and concert halls. Baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer fans can find major-league entertainment throughout the year.
If you’ve selected a registration option that does include housing, you will be housed in a two bedroom, suite-style dorm. Each suite includes a private bathroom, and each room includes a sink and vanity. Each registrant will receive their own bedroom, but will share a bathroom with a suite mate. Linen packages are included (you will not need to bring your own sheets, towels, or pillows). Toiletries are not included.
If you have selected a registration option that does not include on-campus housing and are looking for nearby hotels, please refer to the links below:
