The Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) is the only national association that serves the interests and needs of academic governing boards, boards of institutionally related foundations, and campus CEOs and other senior-level campus administrators. AGB has more than 1,250 member institutions—colleges and universities of all types (independent and public, four-year and two-year, and general and specialized) plus public college and university foundation boards.
It is an excellent source of information on issues related to higher education governance and leadership. To arrange an interview with an AGB expert, contact Julie Bourbon at 202.296.8400 or contact us by email.
