ADEA CCI Liaisons • A special group of faculty appointed by their deans to be an agent of change both within their institution and the larger dental education community by: ▫ Actively participating in projects that build institutional capacity and advance the goals of ADEA CCI ▫ Share with other faculty, administrators, and staff at their school http: //www. adea. org/adeacci/Campus.

Change agents/leaders • It is not enough for leaders to have a vision, members of an organization must also share the vision and when they do, the organization’s ability to change and reach its potential soars ▫ Kouzes and Posner, 2006

Change • Change initiatives are as likely to be derailed over disagreements about process as they are about substance (ACE, 1998 -2001) • Process is the actions and strategies that change agents/leaders employ during the planning and implementation of change (Armenakis & Bedeian, 1999)

• We are going to hear three CCI liaisons describe their individual leadership strategies and the action plans they put into place to deal with barriers to implementing their projects, i. e. , ▫ ▫ ▫ Faculty resistance Changes in leadership Financial constraints Competing priorities Faculty development (or lack thereof. . )

Next Steps 11: 00 – 11: 15 a. m. • This time will be spent on table reports ▫ Yup, you guessed it! Each table will need to assign someone to act as a reporter/recorder for the table reports
