The Association of Governing Boards announced a complimentary workshop focused on endowment governance as colleges face demographic declines, compressed revenues and potential market volatility. AGB framed the session as preparation for boards and investment committees to align fiduciary practice, investment policy and spending with institutional mission under tighter financial conditions. Speakers will cover differences between endowments and other investment pools, committee roles, investment policy statements, and trustee responsibilities. AGB emphasized that many institutions will look to endowments to offset budget gaps, so trustees must balance mission needs with prudent asset management and transparency to donors. The program targets board members, presidents and CFOs and signals growing sector concern about long‑term stewardship of endowed assets amid enrollment and funding headwinds.
