AGB’s Council of Board Chairs had a vibrant discussion on accreditation, which included a preview of the forthcoming 2022 AGB-CHEA Joint Advisory Statement on Accreditation and Governing Boards.
The Council of Board Leaders is a standing advisory group of professional leaders, knowledgeable about the roles, responsibilities, and practices of effective governance for higher education boards. They also have a deep understanding of the challenges boards and board leaders face, and the importance of a proactive approach to short- and long-term planning and strategy.
