A workshop is available for all those interested in department leadership. The goal of the workshop is to provide current and incoming chairpersons or those interested in becoming a chairperson with help in effective department leadership and to begin to build a more systematic base of information about the chairperson's role at the University of Hawai'i. Some of the topics to be covered are leadership strategies, legal issues, personnel and fiscal procedures, creating a cooperative work environment, creating a chair's checklist, and discussions about key issues in department leadership.
