Crisis-Ready Governance: What Every Board Should Be Doing Now

In an era of volatile tuition revenue, declining enrollment, and heightened public scrutiny, disruption isn’t a possibility—it’s a certainty. Governing boards and leadership teams are increasingly being forced to make tough decisions under intense pressure.

This webinar will help higher education leaders proactively evaluate and strengthen their governance structures before they’re tested by crisis. Participants will explore how to build clarity in shared governance roles, prepare for urgent decision-making scenarios, and embed resilience into institutional policies and culture.

Join us for a practical conversation on:

• Why weak governance processes unravel during disruption
• How to diagnose vulnerabilities in your current shared governance approach
• What boards and presidents can do now to foster trust, clarity, and preparedness

Don’t wait for a crisis to expose the cracks. Prepare your board and leadership team to respond with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
