Episode 24: How Boards Support and Nurture Leadership

Tuesday Jan 15, 2019
Sponsored by Ascendium Education Philanthropy. The urgency attached to the board's role in selecting, supporting, and positioning their institution and new presidents to thrive and excel cannot be overstated. In 2016, more than 50% of the presidents of colleges that award associate degrees reported that they anticipated stepping down within the next five years, yet only 21% of these colleges report having a succession plan in place. This session, recorded live during the 49th Annual ACCT Leadership Congress, focuses on the important role of boards in selecting, oboarding and supporting presidents, and is based on the new AACC/ACCT report Executive Leadership Transitioning at Community Colleges (2018).
