Trusteeship - March/April 2021 - 41

O

from 5 trustees to 11. A second got dramatically
smaller, from 27 to 12. One stood up to a parent entity to exercise its
fiduciary responsibilities. Another acted decisively to help an American
college in the Middle East pull through calamity on top of calamity. One
helped the nation's first tribal college through a leadership crisis. And, in
an instance of building a plane while it rolled down the runway, a new foundation
was born even as a half-billion-dollar capital campaign got underway.
Together these are the six winners of the 2020-2021 AGB John W. Nason
Awards for Board Leadership, sponsored by and presented in partnership with
TIAA to honor higher education governing boards that demonstrate exceptional
leadership and initiative. This year's honorees were chosen from among more
than 35 nominations illustrating the crucial work of boards from both public and
private institutions, statewide systems, and institutionally related foundations.
The honorees are:
Q The American University of Beirut Board of Trustees
Q Colorado State University Foundation Board of Directors
Q Diné College Board of Regents
Q Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University Board of Trustees
Q The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees
Q The University of Vermont Foundation
Like every college and university, these institutions had to face new challenges
posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in addition to more foreseeable problems and necessary shifts in strategy. " We hope that recognizing boards that are
strategic partners of their institutions will give others the courage to lead their
institutions or foundations in a similar fashion, " said Henry Stoever, AGB's president and CEO. The Nason Award selection committee also gave special recognition to the Florida Memorial University Board of Trustees, Frontier Nursing
University Board of Directors, and Kent State University Board of Trustees for
their commitment to supporting their communities during challenging times.
The Nason Award, first presented in 1992, is named for the late Swarthmore
College President John W. Nason, revered for helping relocate to 600 college campuses more than 4,000 Japanese-American students who'd been interned with
their families during World War II.
Here are their stories.
