2020 has tested all aspects of endowment management: College leaders and board members faced a volatile market, students and faculty clamored for larger endowment payouts, and some are dealing with underwater investments. During this session, endowment investment and governance experts will review guiding principles of endowments, strengthen your understanding of investment committee membership expectations, help you understand the roles of staff and consultants, and discuss strategies for effective communication with other board members, administrators, and other stakeholders.
Do not miss your opportunity to hear from expert panelists who are leaders in this field. Nikki Kraus co-authored AGB’s book Endowment Management for Higher Education, a widely recognized and comprehensive publication on this topic. Juan Martinez is a key voice at the Knight Foundation, whose work on diversity in asset management —in research and in action—has been featured in the news. NACUBO’s President and CEO Susan Whealler Johnston rounds out the panel with a holistic look at the role college and university business office leaders play in supporting investment committees.
