Weathering Storms: Lessons from 50 Years Inside Higher Ed Boardrooms

Upcoming Webinar
July 28, 2:00–3:00 PM ET

Today’s colleges and universities are no strangers to disruption—new presidents, evolving missions, and growing accountability. Behind the scenes, board professionals are the glue that continues to hold governance together.

Join fellow AGB members Heather Fehn and Martha Tassiello for a rare conversation about how the role has evolved—and how to lead boards with confidence through institutional transformation. From aligning new leadership with long-standing boards to introducing new technologies, this webinar brings decades of hard-won experience directly to you.

What You Will Learn:

  • How to support your board during a presidential transition or leadership overhaul
  • Ways to build trust and alignment across long-tenured and newly appointed trustees
  • Practical strategies for managing tech diversity on your board
  • What’s changed about the board professional’s role—and what’s coming next

Speakers:

Heather Fehn, vice president, chief of staff, and secretary to the board of trustees, The College of New Jersey
Martha Tassiello, chief of staff, Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University; former executive director of presidential and board operations, Adelphi University
