Minding the Gap: Addressing Interim Staffing and Leadership with Professional Services
Roundtable Discussion | Wednesday, February 15, 11a – 12p ET
Hosted by Susan Wyatt Sedwick, Courtney Swaney, and Vincent Grassia, Jr., Attain Partners
Work/life balance is critical to job satisfaction. Unfortunately, few organizations are adequately staffed to absorb the workload when a member departs or when large system implementations (e.g., ERP) demand more time of critical leaders and staff. Unless you are overstaffed (said no one ever), asking staff members to absorb workload and responsibility is not a feasible or wise solution. It often leads to a disengaged team which can be more detrimental to your organization than the loss of a single leader or a team member.
Burnout arising from too many demands is the number one reason given to Attain Partners by research administrators seeking to join our firm. Overloading your best employees, even for short periods of time, not only affects morale and productivity but can also alienate faculty and impede your mission.
Learn through real-life examples how Attain Partners’ interim staffing services can alleviate the pressures on your workforce by providing qualified experts.
Emerging Issues Related to Facilities and Operations

Hosted by Bill Lambert and Wally Davis, Attain Partners
F&A recovery is an important source of funding for higher education institutions and research organizations. Even a small increase in an organization’s F&A rate can result in millions of dollars of recovery over the course of a rate agreement. We will discuss opportunities to possibly increase your F&A rate for your next submission as well as emerging issues and the current landscape.
Learning Objectives
- Provide insights into new and developing issues in F&A.
- Review methods to take back and use at your institution.
