February 9, 2024

Recently, members of the University of Alaska Foundation Board of Directors and staff attended the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) conference in Los Angeles. The AGB is the premier organization focused on empowering college, university, and foundation boards to govern with knowledge and confidence. Governing boards in higher education must focus now more than ever on strategic leadership of their institutions and foundations to ensure institutional vitality and student success.

It is critical that they reinforce the value of higher education, innovate through the effective use of technology, and serve the needs of a shifting demographic. AGB provides leadership and counsel to member boards, chief executives, organizational staff, policymakers, and other key industry leaders to help them navigate the changing education landscape.
