Join us for one of two engaging Pre-Conference Workshops at the 2025 MISBO Annual Conference, taking place on Wednesday, October 22, from 2:00–4:30 PM. Be sure to select your preferred workshop when you register.
Workshop I - Effective Feedback
Tyler Enslin International
Creating a culture of candid feedback is crucial for individual and organizational growth. Without it, productivity drops, communication suffers, and employee engagement declines. In this interactive training, participants will learn how to deliver challenging feedback effectively and empathetically, while also mastering techniques to receive feedback constructively. Though especially valuable for leaders, these skills are essential for employees at all levels.
Workshop II - Beyond the Sticker Price: Perceived Value, Affordability, and Maximizing Mission-Aligned Net Tuition Revenue
Ari Betof, EdD, MBA
Co-Founder and Partner, Mission & Data
Christina Dotchin
Vice-President of Member Relations, Enrollment Management Association (EMA)
In today’s competitive and uncertain landscape, how can independent schools align mission, enrollment strategy, and financial sustainability? This interactive workshop offers practical, data-informed strategies to help schools meet net tuition revenue and enrollment goals while building long-term financial health. Drawing on insights from the Enrollment Management Association’s (EMA) 2025 report An Independent School Education: Family Perceptions of Value and Affordability and the joint EMA-NBOA-NAIS 2022 Cost-Per-Enrollment Study, the session explores how family perceptions and institutional costs intersect. Designed for Heads of School, CFOs, and senior leaders, this session provides tools for tuition strategy, collaboration, and sustainable decision-making.
