The SUNY SAIL Institute is a leadership development think tank headquartered in Albany, New York. The Institute conducts leadership development for the 64 campuses of the State University of New York (SUNY)[1], and other institutions of higher education in the United States. Furthermore, they also undertake projects to share research and analysis to help higher education professionals to stay up to date on current and future trends.
History[edit]
The Institute was established in July, 2016 by the State University of New York with a system-wide mandate in the State of New York. This was done after a proposal was put forth to SUNY leadership about the need for a leadership development institute to be established to serve the 600,000 students and 64 campuses of the State University of New York. This effort was undertaken by prominent higher education leader Dr. Jason Lane[2], who eventually went on to serve as the inaugural Executive Director of the SUNY SAIL Institute.
The SAIL Institute was founded on the principles of creating a system-wide think tank and leadership development organization dedicated to advancing understanding and building human capacity in the areas of strategic, academic and innovative leadership. Through self assessments, workshops[3], retreats, executive coaching and other development opportunities, the SAIL Institute builds the capacity of leaders today so they can lead institutions of tomorrow.
