Board Professionals Leadership Group

The AGB Board Professionals Leadership Group (BP Leadership Group), endorsed by AGB, facilitates and encourages educational and professional services and opportunities for board professionals from AGB member institutions. As a successor to the BPS Planning Committee, the BP Leadership Group shall continue to provide leadership for the annual Workshop for Board Professionals, held in conjunction with AGB's National Conference on Trusteeship.

In addition, the BP Leadership Group shall periodically assess the professional development needs of board professionals and advise and work with AGB to address those needs through research, education, communication, and other programming.

The BP Leadership Group will also promote membership in AGB and participation by board professionals in AGB programs and services for board professionals, and through AGB ensure regular communication with board professionals at AGB member institutions.

There are four committees of the Leadership Group: Executive, Marketing and Membership, Professional Development, and Program.
