We believe in the power of higher education. Great higher education institutions start with great governing boards. AGB helps higher education chief executives, board members, board professionals, and senior leaders understand governance; how to work collaboratively to oversee the institution, system, or foundation; and how to lead through strategic challenges and opportunities. AGB provides advocacy, leading practices, educational resources, expert support, and renowned programs that advance board excellence.

The Higher Learning Commission was founded in 1895 as one of six historically regional institutional accreditors in the United States. It is the largest U.S. institutional accreditor of degree-granting, post-secondary educational institutions, with approximately 1,000 member institutions in the United States.
