2022 Endowment and Governance Programs

Bridging Governance and Administration

 Weekly, January 11–February 1

As core members of executive management, chief business officers have a crucial role to play in support of the governance process, particularly in relationship to boards of trustees. CBOs are a source of information for the board, administrative liaisons to a variety of board committees, and trusted advisors to the president. As fiduciaries, board members play pivotal roles in ensuring the institution is well managed, operates within its financial means, can enable strategic growth, and has the ability to weather turbulent times. In this new NACUBO series, explore the relationship between the CBO and the board. This series will provide practical tips and strategies for effective board governance, particularly in topics linked to finance, audit, and risk.
