In this professional development webcast for consortium leaders, Diane Dimitroff (Executive Director, Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges) and Christine Kimball (Strategic Procurement Director, The Five Colleges of Ohio, Inc.) describe how to consider new administrative collaborations, including collaborative buying. Vicki McGillin (Independent Consultant on Higher Education Collaboration) moderates the program, which covers foundational or baseline principles and conversations. Listeners will learn:

• How to create a framework to start your collaborative buying exploration by defining your outcomes first, not your actions.
• Tips and tools for creating and maintaining momentum and commitment.
