Marriott Marquis Washington, DC

Who attends the Foundation Leadership Forum?
The AGB Foundation Leadership Forum brings together teams including board members, senior foundation staff, and institution leaders. Most participants attend as part of a team that might include the foundation CEO; the board chair, chair-elect, and other members of the foundation board; the institution president; and other foundation or campus staff.
For board members, the program provides a unique opportunity to learn about fundamentals of foundation governance, gain an understanding of best practices embraced by other foundations, and meet and learn from board leaders from other foundations.
For staff leaders, the conference affords an opportunity to connect with professional peers from across the country, learn about emerging issues and innovative practices, and spend time with the board members who will be essential partners in leading their foundations.
For teams, the Forum helps volunteer and professional leaders develop a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, identify shared strategic prioritizes, and frame plans to enhance the governance, operations, and impact of their foundation.
