Strengthening and Aligning Governing Boards

Trustees serving RPUs have few development opportunities tailored to their unique context. This workshop is designed to fill that critical gap and build partnership among presidents/chancellors and their board members.

Register today.

Regional public universities matter—to students, communities, and the nation. Effective governance is one of the most powerful levers to ensure they continue to thrive.

Regional Public Universities (RPUs) are at an inflection point. Declining public confidence, demographic headwinds, political polarization, fiscal uncertainty, and rapid technological change are reshaping the higher education landscape. For presidents and trustees serving RPUs—institutions that educate nearly 70% of all undergraduates at public four-year institutions—the stakes could not be higher.

Strong, aligned, and well-prepared governing boards are essential to ensuring RPUs remain engines of access, opportunity, and regional economic vitality.

Join us on May 5 from 3:30–5 p.m. ET for a high-impact virtual workshop designed specifically for leaders of RPUs.

Who should attend:

  • Trustees and board members serving RPUs (system and nonsystem trustees welcome)
  • Presidents, chancellors, and senior leaders who work closely with governing boards (system and nonsystem campus leaders welcome)

Benefits of participation:

  • Learn how to identify the challenges dominating national higher education debates
  • Understand and discuss the distinct strengths and vulnerabilities of RPUs
  • Gain strategies and tools that boards and presidents can use to protect their institutional mission, stability, and public trust

Join us for this free webinar.

This webinar is free to attend for presidents and chancellors of RPUs and their trustees and board members. A free AASCU account is required to register. If you require assistance to create your account, please contact memberservices@aascu.org.
