Proactively addressing risks, changing priorities and good disclosure

Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2025
10:00 - 11:00 a.m. CST

America’s higher education systems, along with financing arms for healthcare, senior living and other critical services, are navigating a period of profound change – facing declining enrollments, shifting public funding priorities, intensifying scrutiny of costs and outcomes and growing operational and financial risks. 

Yet, even in this challenging environment, institutions and facilities committed to advancing social mobility, workforce development and knowledge creation can remain resilient by embracing new approaches to risk management, strategy, governance and financial disclosure. 

This panel will discuss trends, challenges and opportunities for higher education institutions, healthcare entities and senior living facilities and explore practical strategies for ensuring that these organizations not only survive but thrive — adapting their missions and business models for a changing landscape without compromising their core values. The discussion will also offer insights on how strategic workforce planning, financial disclosure, transparency and thoughtful investor communications can enhance stakeholder confidence and support access to capital. 

Panelists will provide a road map for how higher education institutions and healthcare and senior living facilities — and the state authorities that support them — can collaborate to advance shared goals of sustainability, resilience and mission impact. 

Presented by:

• David Erdman, Managing Director, Municipal Advisory
• Jennifer Fredericks, Director, Business Development
