Volunteer Boards in Higher Education: Strengthen Your Strategy and Grow Engagement

Location TBA | June 11, 2026 8:00 am ET - June 12, 2026 3:00 pm ET

Transform your board’s impact by aligning strategy, engaging members, and fostering a culture of purpose and collaboration.

Event Information

This two-day, in-person workshop offers a comprehensive approach to designing, managing, and engaging volunteer-based boards in higher education settings. Whether you’re working with an alumni board, a college advisory board, or a specialized program council, this workshop will help you to build a new board strategy or evolve an existing one. 

You’ll learn how to define your board’s unique purpose and goals, align your board strategy to institutional priorities, recruit and educate board members to enhance their impact, and create a positive and productive board culture that fosters meaningful engagement. 

The workshop will include hands-on activities for creating your personalized board strategy roadmap, tailored to your specific board type and institutional context. 

Bring your governance documents, bylaws, or charter materials, and we’ll refine them together to ensure a stronger, more effective board that serves your mission. A copy of your board member listing will be helpful to have as well.

Who should attend?

This workshop is carefully designed for institutional representatives and leaders who are charged with increasing board effectiveness. Your board’s leadership will also benefit, and their attendance can help to ensure their buy-in on action plans. You are highly encouraged to bring teams comprised of both constituents. 

The content of this program will be applicable to a variety of board types, including alumni association boards, chapter/regional boards, affinity/shared-interest boards, and other advisory boards. 

Multiple members of an advancement team and board leadership attending together will experience the greatest results. Register 3 or more people and save more than $1,000! Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout.
