Consulting and Services
As the premier provider of information on governance for higher education institutions, AGB's services are based on the fundamentals of best practice in governance.
Our Services
We offer board education services which include Workshops and Consulting Engagements to respond to your needs. We also offer a "Consultant-on-Call Service," a confidential, complimentary members-only service that provides you with an opportunity to discuss a pressing governance issue or concern with an AGB consultant during an hour-long consultation.
Our services cover a wide range of governance topics for private and public institutions as well as institutionally related foundations. Once we learn more about your specific issue or need, AGB will work with your board and institutional leadership to:
- provide a custom-designed package of options,
- develop a proposal that will address your key desired outcomes, and
- meet your preferred timeline.
Foundation Board Education and Consulting Services
Public college and university foundations are being called upon to raise increasing levels of private support for their affiliated institutions to provide complex financial and entrepreneurial services such as trust management, bond issuance, and real estate development. As their size and significance grows, foundations also are being challenged to strengthen their governance, stewardship, investment management, and accountability. AGB's consultants, nationally known for their expertise and professionalism, provide experienced, independent counsel to help foundations respond to these new challenges and opportunities and to improve foundation governance, management, and performance. Learn more about AGB's Board Education and Consulting Services for Institutionally Related Foundations.
Public Trusteeship Consulting
The Ingram Center for Public Trusteeship consults with states and public agencies, political leaders, public university systems, and AGB member boards to objectively diagnose and act on governance and policy challenges.

Consulting Process
From initial conversation, we work to understand the unique situation facing your institution and match your needs and goals with an expert who can work with you in a variety of ways. AGB's experts will travel to a location of your choice to facilitate a session in conjunction with a regularly-scheduled meeting or to support specific challenges as they emerge.
