2026 CFO Retreat: Ignite Your Leadership

A 3.5-Day Transformational Experience for Independent School CFOs. This retreat is designed to grow leaders who can redefine success, lead with personal power, and stay cognitively adaptable in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment. It goes beyond traditional finance training, applying whole-brain leadership models (Thinq360, Fabulous Leadership Framework) to CFO realities such as multi-year forecasting, tuition strategy, compensation, capital planning, auxiliary revenue, risk, technology ROI, and board engagement. The experience aims to elevate CFOs from financial experts to institutional strategists, providing advanced tools and frameworks to navigate scenarios, trade-offs, and change with confidence. It also positions the finance office as a driver of sustainability and culture for schools, translating megatrends into actionable financial strategy to improve employee experience and student outcomes. The retreat is held at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, offering a luxurious setting for reflection, insight, and inspiration.
