The John W. Nason Award for Board Leadership
The Nason Award, established in 1992, is presented in partnership with TIAA to higher education governing boards that demonstrate exceptional leadership and initiative. Honorees exemplify the critical work of boards from public and private institutions, statewide systems, and institutionally related foundations.
The Distinguished Board Professional Award
Now more than ever, we need boards that provide effective, thoughtful, and courageous oversight that advances their institutions in ways that truly matter. The Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges, with essential guidance from our Board Professionals Leadership Group, seeks to recognize higher education board professionals whose work has resulted in heightened board performance.
