Help Shape the Future:
Board Independence, Academic Freedom, and Free Speech

Join us for a complimentary pre-conference discussion at the National Conference on Trusteeship in Chicago.  AGB invites your input on shaping a $1.1 million grant from the Mellon Foundation to support governing boards and presidents in securing board independence, academic freedom, and freedom of speech.  

When: Monday, March 31, 2025| 9:00–10:30 AM
Where: Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile Hotel

We will outline some of the opportunities for member participation in grant-funded activities through next year, followed by discussion of your experiences and advice on how grant activities can be most useful. 

Continental breakfast will be provided. This stimulating discussion with peers and colleagues will be an informative, energizing launch for your conference experience.

If you're unable to join us for breakfast on March 31, there are still many ways to get involved.
