School Daze: Navigating the Facility Financing Maze
November 15, 2022 | 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm

For many charter school leaders and their boards throughout the country, navigating the need for a high-quality facility remains one of their most significant organizational challenges. Add the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and plotting a course through current and future facility needs has become an even more challenging exercise. Is your school planning a facilities expansion or renovation? Join us to learn the key to planning a successful facilities project and understand the potential cost of that project. During our session, a panel of charter school experts will introduce school leaders to the critical elements of project planning and creditworthiness. We will begin our session with a brief icebreaker to gauge who is in the room and their level of facility financing knowledge. Our three experts will then introduce the critical elements of facility project planning and credit worthiness. Following the panel, attendees will be guided through an exercise that estimates key facility project costs. To conclude the session, panelists will work with attendees in small groups to answer their facility financing questions. Attendees will walk away from our session with the tools to solve their facilities challenges.

Presenters:

  • Kaiti Wang, Vice President, HJ Sims
  • Crystal Langdon, Director of Lending, Local Initiatives Support Corporation

School leaders and board members should leave with increased financial confidence and knowing the following:

  2. Benchmarks for financial sustainability
  3. Timelines and best practice for planning for growth and large capital projects

Session Description:

Since 2010, the field of aging services has seen a significant uptick in the number of mergers, acquisitions, affiliations, joint ventures, and dispositions.

Representatives from United Church Homes in Marion, OH, and Lifespire of Virginia in Richmond, VA, will share the lessons they learned while evaluating consolidation opportunities, establishing priorities, and driving organizational change. They’ll tell you how your governance and organizational structures can improve or hinder your ability to capitalize on consolidation opportunities. Take home practical strategies that can help you and your board make good decisions the next time opportunity knocks.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how governance and organizational structure can help or hinder the ability to capitalize on opportunities.
  • Discuss how to be thoughtful and efficient at the same time.
  • Learn how management can organize and evaluate multiple opportunities, establish priorities, and drive organizational progress.

Session Date & Time: Tuesday, August 30, from 1:30pm until 2:45pm

Session 2E | Room: Regent 1

Session Description:

In this session, an Ohio senior living provider teams with financial, marketing and design professionals to share strategies for responding to evolving changes in senior living. Participants will explore projected census/demographics and examine how the pandemic will impact these projections for years to come. They will see how major economic disruptors like labor shortages and soaring home prices will impact senior living communities and their consumers. Presenters will discuss how small ‘design moments’ rooted in a community’s story have a greater impact than grandiose trimmings. Participants will see examples of how a community can tell its story through thoughtful design, branding and messaging and how these elements can be translated to marketing techniques that spark consumer imaginations and lead to more robust sales.
