*The June Institute is now full, please email registrar@agb.org to be placed on the wait list.
This popular program enables both members of an institution's leadership team to strengthen their relationship to benefit their college or university. In a stimulating atmosphere, board chairs and presidents can discover new and better ways to collaborate and lead their institutions. As the three-day program progresses, participants develop a specific plan that addresses their institution's unique governance needs. Sessions encourage active participation in small-group discussions and with the program's facilitators. Additionally, the program provides ample time for each leadership team to work together privately. This program, limited to 15-20 teams, is held in January and June. More than 400 teams of presidents and board chairs have participated since 1985.

The Summer Institute will be held at Aspen Meadows, home of The Aspen Institute. For decades, the Aspen Institute has hosted some of the world's greatest thinkers and leaders. Original Bauhaus architect Herbert Bayer designed the meeting facilities and guest quarters that form the campus, creating an attractive and comfortable environment that blends the natural landscape and contemporary architecture. The Meadows campus offers opportunities for casual strolls and uninterrupted discussions, and the surrounding mountains provide many summer recreational activities. Aspen Meadows is a five-minute drive from Aspen's Pitkin Airport. Complimentary shuttle service is available by phoning in advance or upon arrival at the airport. AGB will make hotel accommodations for each participant for the nights of June 19 and 20.
