“Governance is not a spectator sport.” Higher ed boards that function as strategically-formed teams with diverse skills and life experiences are equipped to champion mission and values in service of stakeholders. Having the right players is key to governance excellence.

Board composition, transparency, and accountability to stakeholders matters to the future of higher ed. Inclusive boards of trustees have the intellectual dexterity and structural muscle to make insightful, valued-based decisions that serve missions in harmony with the needs of the stakeholders.

Board gender and racial diversity that reflects stakeholders, improves board decision making and produces better outcomes. Equity starts at the top and strengthens governance.
