This past spring, AGB published the Principles of Trusteeship to enhance the effectiveness of all board members. These nine principles empower each and every board member to serve as strategic thought partners in governance and leadership with their boards, presidents, and leadership teams.

In this podcast, Merrill Schwartz, AGB’s senior vice president of content and program strategy speaks with Marla Bobowick, project director for the Principles of Trusteeship working group, and Jim Lyons, a former university president and member of the working group about the process of developing the principles, how to utilize the principles as a board development tool, and their favorite principles.
