One of the most pressing issues faced by governing boards is supporting strong leadership at the presidential level. AGB’s publication Top Strategic Issues for Boards 2022–2023 identified the preparation of new leaders for higher education as one of the top five issues.
AGB has a long history of scanning the higher education environment and developing programs and publications to support boards and board members as new issues emerge and existing situations change substantially.
