Start the journey with a complimentary conversation.
Our staff and consultants work to understand your situational context, goals, and challenges, as well as other important factors to help you identify and prioritize areas of governance development and improvement. Typically, a brief initial conversation sets the stage for our staff to identify an appropriate lead consultant and next steps that may include a detailed proposal on the scope of work.
Take action to develop your strategic governing board.
“Prior to the retreat with the AGB consultant, some trustees were not fully familiar with their role as stewards of the institution. Having a highly qualified individual coaching them on proper governance was very helpful. Shortly after the retreat session, trustees were deliberately working to apply the principles in their engagement with administration. I have seen progress with one two-hour retreat session. Continuing education on governance is a must.”

“Having a consultant who serves on a higher education board facilitate the conversation was a game changer…. During our pre-work with the consultant, the board officers clicked together on the need to move the board to the next level.”

“As we continue to grow, change, and look toward the future, the AGB consultant helped the board of governors to take a step back and put everything into perspective.”
