Developing the Board’s Agenda for 2024─2025

Strategic governing boards always have their eye on the future, and plan to use their time to maximum effect. It’s important to identify the best process for constructing a board agenda that not only aligns with the institution’s strategic priorities but also ensures the engagement and productive contribution of all board members. Organizing your board agenda to focus on major fiduciary and strategic issues rather than administrative tasks can ensure your board is forward-looking and centered on the institution’s future.

This webinar will explore how to:

• Sharpen the board’s strategic focus for the academic year 2024–2025, drawing insights from these top strategic issues identified by AGB:
  • Board independence and leadership
  • Student success, the student experience, and inclusion on campus
  • Leadership succession and support
  • Business model innovation and digital transformation
• Contextualize and prioritize these issues for the institution’s local or regional context
• Plan for the effective use of a board member’s time and energy in the coming year to enable stronger collaboration and support of the institution’s leadership and strategic priorities
