Leadership Strategies for Chairs of Public Institutions

It is hard to imagine a time when boards of public institutions have needed more effective leadership from their chairs. Boards must deal with governance issues such as presidential relations, sunshine laws, working with colleagues, presidential searches, institutional direction, transparency, and compensation. Board chairs must lead the charge. What will be your leadership legacy? This workshop provides strategies for success through case-study analysis and discussions with the facilitators and fellow board chairs.

FACILITATORS

Leading the Board: Strategies for Chairs of Independent Institutions

Incoming, new, and experienced board chairs are invited to learn successful strategies for leading the governing board; improving chair and president collaboration; devel-oping, motivating, and evaluating members of the board; making board work substantive, relevant, and rewarding; and managing dif�cult issues—all while balancing the competing demands that are fundamental to this role. This workshop provides an opportunity for participants to share pressing challenges and �nd solutions that work.

FACILITATORS

• Betsy Fleming, president emerita, Converse College

Ful�lling Board Responsibilities Relative to Enrollment Management and Degree Completion

For most board members, new student enrollment has always been a priority and a benchmark of an institu-tion’s success. Today, both public and independent institu-tions need to carefully monitor discount rates, the effects of decreasing or neutral tuition-revenue growth, and the long-term implications of �nancial plans. This session focuses on the realities and costs of enrollment manage-ment, the metrics a board should obtain and review, �nan-cial planning in an uncertain market, and broad strategies that can help lead a campus to long-term prosperity.

Sustaining the Vitality of the Board: The Role of the Governance Committee

As a result of increasing demands on higher education and governing boards, the governance committee (or its surrogate) has taken on greater responsibility for de-veloping and maintaining a consequential board. This workshop—appropriate for members of both public and independent boards—focuses on best practices for board composition and organization, orientation of new mem-bers, assessment of board performance, and continuing board development. Participants will begin constructing governance committee work plans to support essential progress on their governing board’s agenda.

Understanding College and University Financial Practices and Reporting

Developing an understanding of �nancial practices and reporting is an essential element in ensuring that board members ful�ll their �duciary duties. This workshop provides a foundation of college and university �nance principles, highlights distinctions from for-pro�t entities, and builds knowledge through case studies relevant to is-sues board members face today. Board members will also develop the capacity to ask the right questions and assess the answers to help their institutions thrive in the future.

New Business Models for Higher Education: Enhancing Revenue and Productivity

The changes in higher education’s competitive landscape continue to present a challenge for our nation’s colleges and universities. Institutions aim to balance their bud-gets while encountering lower net revenue per student, rising labor costs, and shifting student demographics. Institutions have an opportunity to reach the broadest range of unmet learning needs while positioning themselves for long-term prosperity. This workshop will focus on revenue growth and diversi�cation along with productivity approaches to lowering total cost.

FACILITATOR

• Rick Beyer, managing principal, AGB Institutional Strategies

How, When, and Why to Conduct a Presidential Assessment

Assessing the president—an essential responsibility of governing boards—demonstrates accountability, good governance, and effective leadership. It is important to think through the process and to use best practices, both for annual reviews and for periodic comprehensive evaluations. This workshop covers how to use feedback to address trouble spots as well as develop the presi-dent’s talents in areas such as �nancial management, relationship-building, and risk management to lead to positive change.

PRECONFERENCE WORKSHOPS: BLOCK IV

Strategies for an Effective Committee Structure

The infrastructure of most college and university governing boards traditionally includes board commit-tees that are aligned with the functional operations of the institution. Committees are a useful vehicle to divide the work of the board; however, institutions must assess whether their committee structure is still producing optimal opportunities for engagement and strategic dis-cussion among the board. Many boards have completely transformed their committee structures or are consid-ering doing so. This workshop will highlight the process and tools needed to rethink your committee structure.

FACILITATORS

• Kristen Hodge-Clark, director of research, AGB

• Susan W. Johnston, executive vice president and chief operating of�cer, AGB, and board member, Radford University and Rollins College

Becoming a More Effective Board Member

New board members will learn the full range of trustee responsibilities at this essential session. Using small-group discussions, case studies, and Q&A sessions, this workshop will address standards for best practices with a deep dive into �duciary responsibilities and speci�c steps designed to create board ef�cacy. The needs of trustees from both public and independent institutions will be addressed.

FACILITATORS

• Alvin J. Schexnider, former chancellor, Winston-Salem State University; senior fellow, Schexnider & Associates, LLC; and senior fellow, AGB

How to Conduct Board and Trustee Assessments

A board-performance assessment provides boards with an opportunity to step back from the preoccupations of regular board business, candidly review their perfor-mance, and develop a set of objectives that will strength-en the board’s effectiveness. The workshop focuses on the various assessment methods available to develop an action plan based on results. This includes how to use assessment feedback to understand how the board is functioning, to educate the board on responsibilities that are unclear or areas where it is under-performing, and to identify strategies to improve board effectiveness.

FACILITATORS

• Karen W. Bearden, board chair, Kentucky State University, and member, AGB Board of Directors

• Merrill Schwartz, senior vice president, AGB Consulting

Strategies for Overseeing and Leveraging Enterprise Risk Management

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a process to identify risks and opportunities so institutions can better prepare for and respond to an uncertain future. This session will highlight best practices and case studies from early adopters of ERM. Attendees will gain a better understanding of ERM and its role, identify the strategic risks the board owns, and explore practical ways the board can support the administration in developing an ERM process.

HIGHER EDUCATION IN 10 YEARS:

THE FUTURE THROUGH THE INNOVATOR’S LENS

In these sessions, thought leaders from industries that support higher education discuss how they see higher education shifting in the next decade, and ways they are innovating to meet the future needs of institutions and the students they serve. Boards and institutions need to be aligned to leverage these opportunities to maximize their potential going forward.

Opportunities for Financial Innovation in Higher Education

CORTEZ A/B

This session will focus on new approaches that higher education institutions can take to �nancially innovate while upholding their institution's core mission—from different ways of thinking about endowment manage-ment to what kind of assets institutions should consider investing in.

Critical Factors for the Future of Campus Living and the Student Experience

SAPPHIRE

Generation Z has arrived on campus with constantly changing expectations. Institutions must better under-stand their campus populations to design living and learning spaces that attract and retain students. This session will reveal “the future of student experience”—the latest design considerations for campus living and today’s student lifestyles.

Unbundling the Degree

CORONADO B/C/D

Bootcamps, MOOCs, badges, and stackable certi�cates are leading indicators of a trend to “unbundle” degrees and connect students to employment. Universities can take advantage of this trend by adapting curricula and processes to meet growing demands of students and employers.

Rising to the Challenge of Innovation and Success for All Students

CHANTILLY BALLROOM

Now is the time to rethink business models and delivery methods for education, to create campus environments that are truly inclu-sive, and to inspire our students to be the educated and engaged citizens the world

demands. With an unfailing optimism about our collective capacity to rise to the challenges facing us in uncertain times, Freeman Hrabowski delivers an inspiring message of a future characterized by the choices we make today that drive consequential change and advance higher education at a time when it matters most.

CONCURRENT SESSIONS I

Pricing, Debt Burden, and Perceptions of ROI in Undergraduate Education

CORONADO A

Students and families, policymakers, and the general public seem united in a belief that college costs too much, yet there is no consensus on what is “affordable.” Beyond questions of “who should pay?” and “how much should it cost?” are questions of total loan debt and repayment burden post-graduation. How do boards make determinations about pricing, discount rates, debt burden, and return on investment in the midst of intense market competition and the growing chorus of voices about the decreasing affordability of college?

SPEAKERS

• Sandy Baum, senior fellow, Urban Institute, and board member, Bryn Mawr College

• Juliet V. Garcia, senior advisor to the chancellor for community, national, and global engagement, The University of Texas System; member, AGB Board of Directors; and member, AGB Institutional Strategies Board of Directors

D74997AGB.indd 12 3/21/17 4:31 PM


High-Impact Undergraduate Experiences Linked to Career Success and Wellbeing

DE LA SALLE

Higher education leaders are increasingly concerned about perceived return on investment and the extent to which different aspects of the campus experience prepare students for various post-graduate outcomes, including success in their career, becoming involved in community activities, and experiencing general wellbeing and satisfaction with life. Improving the work and life outcomes of graduates starts with measuring a new set of metrics—behavioral economics—in higher education. Learn why this coming data revolution will re-shape higher education and �nd out what board members need to know about how institutions are best preparing students for success.

SPEAKER

• Brandon Busteed, executive director, education and workforce development, Gallup

Talking Tech: Making Campus Conversations Crucial

CORTEZ A/B

Conversations with the IT department are sometimes dif�cult—and often lean toward the indecipherable, apocalyptic, or utopian. When technology conversations fall short of their potential, relationships suffer and mis-managed expectations abound. How do campus leaders talk about technology in a way that is constructive and achieves traction in solving the problems of the day? This session offers participants tools to transform the con-versation with IT, improve strategic alignment of IT and institutional mission, and enable new approaches and strategies for IT governance.

Evolving Student-Health Needs and What Campuses Are Doing to Respond

TOPAZ

Students are arriving on campus with an increasingly complex set of emotional, physical, mental, and learn-ing-support needs, challenging institutions to respond in an appropriate yet cost-effective manner. Additionally, many institutions have made dramatic changes to their student insurance options due to stipulations in the Affordable Care Act, including the structure and func-tioning of their health and counseling centers. It is vital that board members understand the institution’s legal obligations regarding student health, the breadth and depth of needs presented by today’s students, and the board’s �duciary duty to ensure students’ academic success.

SPEAKERS

• Alan I. Glass, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, Washington University in St. Louis

• Susan L. Wheeler, university counsel and special assistant attorney general, James Madison University

An Essential Institutional Asset: Shared Governance

CORONADO B/C/D

Shared governance should be an essential institutional asset. But as AGB research shows, many of the involved parties know too little about each other's work to value their contributions to important decisions in an in-formed way. With support from the Teagle Foundation, AGB recently conducted a multi-phase research initiative to identify key issues in shared governance and compiled examples as to how some institutions are working to strengthen it. This session will provide an overview of research �ndings, as well as discussion of select cases of institutional improvements to shared governance processes.

Governance for Change: Consequential System Boards

CORTEZ C/D

The majority of American public post-secondary institu-tions are part of public college and university systems, enrolling more than half of all post-secondary students in the U.S. The governing boards of these systems have responsibilities that at times mirror those of single insti-tutions, but also differ greatly.

Small Colleges, Big Innovation

CORTEZ A/B

Bigger isn’t always better, especially in higher educa-tion. Amidst concerns about the fate of some smaller institutions, many are developing highly innovative and sustainable solutions for their campuses with the sup-port of their boards. Their size allows them to be more nimble and to experiment with curricular, admissions, or business-model changes, such as pop-up courses, men-torship programs, mission-centric real estate deals, and integrated work-study opportunities. Panelists will high-light some of the creative changes they’ve introduced, the outcomes they’ve experienced, and the role of their boards in thinking big at small institutions.

Governing Boards and Auxiliary Entities: Best Practices for Optimizing Relationships

CORTEZ C/D

Contemporary colleges and universities are looking to public-private partnerships and various entrepreneurial ventures as a way of enhancing ef�ciency and growing revenue. These partnerships lead to the creation of additional auxiliaries and subsidiaries, such as medical centers, research parks, athletic organizations, fundraising foundations, and alumni associations. This session provides an overview of categories of risk associated with these types of auxiliaries and outlines questions boards should be asking to mitigate the potential for reputational, legal, and �nancial risks.

MODERATOR

Accreditation and Innovation: Synergistic or Antagonistic?

CORONADO B/C/D

Accreditation is an external-review process to assess and af�rm that an institution is offering a quality product—up-holding its promises and ful�lling its avowed mission and charitable purpose. Accreditation is also a highly contentious public policy issue, as policymakers question whether the process is working the way it is intended to. Most critically, does the accreditation process impede the innovation and prudent risk taking that enable institutions to remain viable in a competitive market? This session will address accredita-tion as a lever of opportunity for high-performing governing boards in encouraging innovation for the development and launch of new programs, for improved institutional effec-tiveness, and for advancing academic quality.

Bridging the Divide: Liberal Education and Professional Preparation

DE LA SALLE

Growing public and policymaker interest in the imme-diate �nancial pay-off of a college degree has brought long-standing arguments to a boil. Should undergraduate education provide a broad distribution of courses that expose students to different ways of thinking and prob-lem-solving? Or should it aim to develop in them a more focused set of skills for clear and direct vocational paths? Are students best served if they are educated for a �rst job or for a lifetime of work? Is it possible to bridge the divide? This session will explore the tensions between these views as well as the role boards can play in these debates.

Aligning Athletics Policy and Spending with Mission

CORONADO A

Continuing public and policymaker concern about the role of intercollegiate athletics in higher education suggests that boards should be discussing three key questions: To what extent does the athletics program align with mission? Is total spending on athletics propor-tional to its contribution to mission? Are student ath-letes able to ful�ll roles as both athletes and students? In this session, panelists will offer suggestions for board policies related to intercollegiate athletics that spell out the leadership roles and oversight responsibilities of the board, president, and athletics department in a man-ner consistent with their requisite responsibilities and accountability.

CONFERENCE CONCLUDES

D74997AGB.indd 19 3/16/17 1:09 PM


Beacon College Board of Trustees College

Beacon College’s board of trustees ensured institutional survival by successfully negotiating a presidential tran-sition; creating a planning document to help chart the way forward; and implementing shared governance te-nets through a series of focus groups with select faculty and staff to ensure the success of the new president. In so doing, they revitalized the institution. Student and parental satisfaction rates are high, as are the gradu-ation rate and the post-degree employment and ad-vanced-study rate. Of equal importance is the true part-nership between president and board, which can now focus on governance while the improved administration manages the college.

CETYS University Board of Trustees

Following the inauguration of a new president and the implementation of a new strategic plan, a major earth-quake struck, severely damaging CETYS’ main campus in Mexicali. Sensing an opportunity to not just rebuild but to create new, state-of-the-art facilities, the board raised its campaign goals and acted as one, rather than as multiple regional boards. The board also recognized that it must radically change itself, adopting a new governance model. Early signs are encouraging. CETYS demonstrates the benefits of having an engaged, properly oriented board that provides strong leadership and oversight.

The College of William & Mary Foundation Board of Trustees

Through the College of William & Mary Foundation board’s continued focus on engagement, structure, and its phil-anthropic mission, it provides exemplary leadership to the university and its many constituents. The streamlined board prioritizes the foundation’s mission and top fundraising needs. The success of its task force on women and philan-thropy inspired it to create additional task forces centered around underrepresented groups—primarily African-Amer-ican and LGBTQ alumni. The foundation board also played an important role in helping to develop the messaging for the “For the Bold” campaign, a key priority of which is to substantially increase scholarships support.

Whittier College Board of Trustees

Recognizing that, as a leader in the retention and gradua-tion of Latino students, Whittier College is ideally suited to meet the regional and national need for STEM gradu-ates from diverse populations, the board unanimously voted to update its aging science building—a project costing $52.5 million. The acumen of the finance commit-tee played a critical role in determining how to fund this massive capital undertaking. Thanks to the vision, wisdom, and dedication of the board, the new Science and Learn-ing Center—which opened on budget—is transformative in preparing a new and diverse generation of graduates who will serve their communities as leaders who under-stand the pressing scientific issues of our time.

AGB’s John W. Nason Award for Board Leadership, now in its second year, recognizes governing boards that have demonstrated exceptional leadership and initiative. This award is named after a higher education leader—John W. Nason—who demonstrated these characteristics personally and who made immense contributions to the field of higher education governance.

In fall 2016, AGB’s call for nominations for the award drew nearly 70 nominations describing impressive work led by boards of public and independent institutions, statewide systems, and institutionally related foundations. This year, AGB is pleased to honor five boards. Read more about these boards’ exceptional contributions to higher educa-tion in the March/April issue of Trusteeship magazine.

JOHN W. NASONAWARD FOR

The Ohio State University Board of TrusteesBeginning in 2012, The Ohio State University board of trustees initiated and implement-ed a major transforma-tion of its Wexner Medical Center (WMC) governance structures, significantly impacting both the university and its surrounding commu-nity. This key strategic overhaul brought Ohio State into alignment with the best practices of major academic medical centers. The results speak for themselves:

the WMC continues to serve an ever-increasing share of Medicaid and needy patients; fundraising success is at an all-time high; a new cancer hospital opened under budget; and the medical center has been honored with the Universi-ty Health System Consortium Quality and Accountability Award four consecutive years.

agbsearch.com

AGB Search focuses exclusively on higher education leadership, conducting executive searches on behalf of colleges, universities, higher education systems and associations, and institutionally related foundations.

Each member of our consulting team brings years of experience as a higher education leader to the �rm. We not only understand the current demands of leadership, but are also deeply invested in supporting the next generation of leaders.

Using our extensive networks, diverse perspectives, and the depth of search experiences, AGB Search identi�es and vets exceptional candidates, helping to build the most effective, diverse leadership teams possible.

AGB Search is the only search �rm that specializes in all aspects of the higher education executive search continuum:

Full Search

AGB Search helps your institution capitalize on the strategic opportunities that each leadership search presents. Our specialization in higher education ensures the expertise, connections, and commitment you need to achieve your aspirations. We collaborate with boards, search committees, and administra-tors to tailor each search, providing the right assistance at the right time as you cultivate, vet, select, and transition successful leaders.

Interim Search

There are times when the right choice is an interim appointment. AGB Interim Search offers a selective pool of well-vetted candidates—recent retirees and accomplished late-career executives—for cabinet-level positions from pres-ident to dean. You can select an interim appointee in a matter of days or we can use our professional networks to identify additional candidates when time allows. Our fees are low and �xed, with discounts for institutions that engage the �rm for a full search to �ll the position.

Compensation Evaluation Service (CES)

In partnership with CUPA-HR, CES assists boards and presidents in setting executive compensation at levels that are both justi�able and competitive. CES can examine an individual position, an entire cabinet, or the leadership of an entire system. Using the most recent industry information, the service creates a defensible peer group—and aspirant group, if desired—and provides com-parison analysis on salary and other components of executive compensation. We also offer guidance on factors that may help you determine appropriate compensation levels.

By combining our proven approach with your aspirations, the outcome of your search and transition can be more than a successful appointment—it can be a renewed vision for the future.

DILIGENT

Diligent is the leading provider of secure corporate governance and collaboration solutions for boards and senior executives.

Over 5,000 clients in more than 70 countries rely on Diligent to provide secure, intuitive access to their most time-sensitive and con�dential information, ultimately helping them make better decisions. Diligent Boards has been selected by more than 100 college and university boards, including AGB’s own board of directors.

With committed staffs and ambitious goals, the boards of higher education institutions often look to pare down printing, support, and IT staff costs while improving trustee and director visibility with timely board information and updates.

Here’s why Diligent Boards is the ideal solution for higher education institu-tions that want to speed and simplify the way their board materials are pro-duced, delivered, reviewed, and collaborated on:

Performance: Built on the only page-level propriety software in the business, Diligent Boards offers the fastest screen views, quickest updates, easiest navigation and most intuitive user interface. Our relentless focus has been on simplicity in design. The result: a board portal that trustees call fun and easy to use!

Mobility: Trustees need a board portal that stays with them as they move from online to of�ine modes and between iPad, Microsoft tablet, PC, and browser. With a copy of the Diligent Boards app resident on each user’s device, trustees can view the app locally instead of relying on Wi-Fi or network connections.

Security: Ever vigilant when it comes to security, Diligent combines a keen understanding of how the board process works with deep expertise in the constantly evolving technologies that underlie the board portal. It converts and encrypts at the page level, whereas other portals often protect only at the �le or even �ling cabinet level.

Service: High-quality, 24/7/365 service and support is crucial when an institu-tion’s most important leadership needs access to board-related information under any circumstances. Support can help smooth the transition from the paper to digital world, as well as from internal or other portal solutions.

Control: With Diligent Boards, institutions can rest assured that con�dential board materials remain in the right hands. Designated individuals and groups can be given rights to view speci�c information. Rules can be put in place to control how board materials are accessed and shared, and document retention policies can be enforced electronically.

With a 99% client retention rate, Diligent knows what drives successful board portal adoption and can help your institution improve its board effectiveness.

University and college administrators face ever-greater challenges in maintaining �nancial sustainability, balancing available resources, and demonstrating accountability and transparency.

To meet these challenges in today’s economic environment, the selection of a �nancial partner has never been more critical. The goal of Northern Trust’s Foundation & Institutional Advisors national practice is to support nonpro�ts in achieving the organization’s long-term objectives. Northern Trust provides world-class investment-consulting solutions, leveraging our institutional resources with our considerable experience serving endowments and foundations.

Northern Trust can serve as a dedicated investment advisor, offering recom-mendations regarding asset allocation and manager selection or as a fully out-sourced CIO, where a �nancial advisor works with your board of directors and investment committee to set and implement investment policy. Within these pre-determined parameters, the �nancial advisor makes investment strategy recommendations and facilitates manager selection, asset allocation, and portfolio construction, as well as risk management, administrative services, and comprehensive reporting on your behalf.

Strategic alliances with third-party managers allow Northern Trust to offer quali�ed institutional investors direct access to a unique and exclusive endowment-style investment model. The endowment model, founded on diversi�cation, manager selection, and risk management, with an emphasis on alternative investments, seeks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns based on the investment approach pioneered by the largest university endowments. Designed for long-term investments, the endowment strategy can be accessed as a cornerstone in an integrated investment program, ranging across a spectrum of less liquid “perpetual capital” solutions that include generous allocations to less liquid alternatives and private-asset exposures.

For over 125 years, Northern Trust has been serving individuals, corporations, institutions, and nonpro�ts worldwide. Northern Trust offers a unique value proposition to nonpro�t organizations, combining the expertise and perspec-tive gained through generations of service to successful families with the investment management and custody infrastructure required by large insti-tutional clients. We applaud your organization’s commitment to its mission, constituency, and community, and are available to assist your organization in achieving its goals—both philanthropic and �nancial.

STRATEGIC INVESTMENT GROUP

Strategic was founded 29 years ago by the senior members of the investment of�ce managing the World Bank’s multi-billion-dollar portfolio. They understood the complex role of a �duciary and founded Strategic as a purpose-built Outsourced Chief Investment Of�ce (OCIO).

Strategic partners with clients to provide sophisticated, customized invest-ment solutions, traditionally only available to multi-billion-dollar investors. Our mission has always been to provide the same type of comprehensive cus-tomized �duciary investment solutions to organizations that do not choose to, or do not have the ability to, build this capability internally. This frees clients from the day-to-day business of managing investment portfolios so that they can focus on their core mission. We become our client’s investment of�ce and function seamlessly as an extension of their staff.

Why Outsource

To obtain a broad range of experienced resources and strengthen investment governance. An OCIO can help �duciaries ful�ll their wide-ranging and complex responsibilities. The key is to partner with a co-�duciary dedi-cated to helping design and implement investment policies tailored to your particular objectives, mission, willingness to bear risk, and changing circum-stances, yet one that makes sure all clients bene�t from the �rm’s best ideas. The ideal OCIO relationship is a seamless extension of an institution’s �ducia-ry bodies and internal staff, complementing them with the additional resourc-es needed to steward investments effectively.

What Strategic’s OCIO Solutions Deliver

We believe these distinguishing features make Strategic a compelling value-added partner:■ Experience: We have been providing OCIO solutions since 1987.■ Comprehensive Investment Process: We manage total portfolio exposures

within an integrated risk-budgeting framework.■ Performance: While past performance is not a guarantee of future results,

we have delivered compelling added value, net-of-fees. ■ Commitment: Outsourcing is our business. We are compensated only

by our clients, and, unlike many competitors, do not face potential con�icts related to other lines of business.

■ Access: We believe our open-architecture platform sources top-tier managers.■ Customization: We craft unique solutions for unique needs.■ Accountability: Our deep, experienced, stable team serves as a co-�duciary.

PREPARING FOR A

PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH5 Tips for a Successful Outcome

One of the most important decisions a board of trustees will make is the selection of a new institution president. To avoid the hazards that often arise in a presidential search, AGB Search recommends the following tips to help you prepare.

1. Invest Time in Search Planning and Process

The need to appoint a new president can lead institutions to rush the search process. Such haste can exacerbate existing problems or create new ones. A typical presidential search takes five to six months to complete and benefits from meticulous and orderly preparation.

2. Identify Future Institutional Needs and Required Leadership Skills

A careful review of institutional needs can allow the board to take full advantage of the opportunity to forge an innovative path toward the future, and to identify the experience and attributes of the leader who will take you there.

3. Involve Your Constituent Base

Listen to and engage alumni, faculty, students, staff and others at the beginning of the search process to help to hone a position profile that reflects the many roles a president fulfills.

4. Strive to Build Consensus

Strong opinions and often high emotions can come into play in a presidential search because the stakes are high. The search committee chair and the board chair must exercise leadership to achieve consensus, even if there is not unanimity, and support for the chosen candidate.

5. Create a Transition Team and Plan

The transition begins the moment the sitting president announces a decision to leave. With a solid transition plan, the team can work to limit disruptions, reinforce stability and prepare for success during this time of change.
