How long-term leaders beat the odds and stay inspired

The average tenure of a leader of an ATS-accredited school is less than six years, but several presidents and deans are thriving well past that. How? In Trust magazine talked with several well-seasoned leaders for their insights. Learn what keeps them fresh and inspired. 

What to learn from the trend of embedded schools

Over the past 20 years, there has been a clear trend of theological schools embedding in other schools, and now more than 40% of ATS-accredited schools are embedded. Rev. Dr. Byron Klaus outlines the key things schools should know about embedding and the trends around it.

See more trends and articles in the Autumn In Trust magazine here. 

Raise money like a pro

Fundraising could be a key part of your board's work – if they're energized to do so. Fundraising expert Dr. Carla Maxwell Ray explains how a board can be primed to help a school raise money. Listen to Episode 30 "Energizing Your Board for Fundraising" on the Good Governance podcast here.
