Augsburg\u2019s Board of Regents was awarded the 2017 John W. Nason Award for Board Leadership for efforts including initiating an inclusive, five-year strategic planning effort and leading the institution\u2019s largest-ever capital campaign.<\/p>\n
The formal recognition came in April at the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges National Conference on Trusteeship held in San Francisco. This year\u2019s honorees were chosen from approximately 40 nominations nationwide.<\/p>\n
\u201cTraditionally, governing boards have stayed out of the public eye except when something goes wrong,\u201d said Richard Legon, president of the association\u2019s board of directors. \u201cBut it is important that we honor the best of us and inspire good governance practices in others. These boards\u2019 stories represent some of the sharpest and most innovative thinking in the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now in its third year, the award is named for higher education leader John W. Nason, recognizing his work as chair of the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council in helping more than 4,000 interned students continue their college studies across the U.S. during World War II.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
