"Board retreats and workshops are an important way to cultivate and maintain a well-functioning board," said ACCT President and CEO Jee Hang Lee. "They are also an important way for the college board and CEO to ensure their joint priorities are aligned and to maintain harmony among board members and the CEO throughout the year. I am grateful to the ACCT Board of Directors for supporting this giveaway so that more members can benefit from these important services."

ACCT Vice President for Membership & Educational Services Robin Matross Helms, Ph.D., hosted today's event. "It's exciting to be able to give back to the ACCT membership," she said. "Our priority is forging stronger and deeper holistic relationships with our members to support good governance through best practices and through peer-to-peer knowledge sharing."

“Board development is considered a standard of good governance practice, and facilitated board trainings and retreats can strengthen communication and understanding among board members,” said ACCT Director of Retreats and Evaluation Services Colleen Allen. “This can lead to a stronger, more effective working group. Boards that engage in training and professional development also set a model for the rest of the institution.”
