This news of the increasing costs of passports brought to mind an admissions director quagmire that's haunted me most my career. Where is the balance between going yourself (whether it's a day school visiting a local feeder school or a boarding school visiting someone on the other side of the world) and sending a staffer? How is it received by those you visit if you send someone other than the #1 person in your office? Isn't relationship building key in our business? How do you do that if you don't send the same person each time? I mean really: can anyone do as good a job as you? Does sending someone else out take control out of your hands? On the other hand, don't you have better things, more senior administrative things to do than spend days or weeks out of the office? Thoughts?
