Spencer Fane attorney Allison Garrett has continued her ongoing thought leadership for University Business with the article, How to Perform a Quick Checkup on Your Board of Trustees.
In the piece, Allison provides a 10-item list of considerations and action steps for higher education leaders to “take the temperature” of their institution’s board members. She focuses on ways to keep boards well-informed, engaged, prepared, and reliable.
“A productive relationship between a university’s board of trustees or regents and a president can be of tremendous benefit to the institution and its leadership,” Allison noted.
At Spencer Fane, Allison plays a critical role in the firm’s higher education practice, resolving complex regulatory, administrative, operational, and transactional issues specific to public and private universities. Supported by a decadeslong track record of success in legal, educational, and leadership roles, she has held prominent positions in government, at a multinational retail corporation, and at the highest levels of several higher education institutions.
