In this episode, sponsored by the 2026 InsightsEDU Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, February 17-19,

YOUR host is Dr. Joe Sallustio

• How does a new CEO take the reins of an accreditation body serving 215 institutions & shift the narrative from compliance enforcers to champions of innovation & continuous quality improvement?
• What happens when accreditors focus on better data for better conversations & reject the misconception that they're just policemen instead of partners in advancing educational excellence?
• How does an accreditation leader navigate major disruptions in higher education through AI integration, short term Pell rollouts, & regulatory evolution while keeping students at the center of everything?
