SEI announced its sustaining sponsorship with the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB). SEI has been a strategic partner to AGB since 2013.
The two organizations have also partnered to produce a joint study, the results of which will be released on Jan. 31, 2022 at AGB’s Foundation Leadership Forum. The study explores the perspectives of 130 college- and university-affiliated foundation leaders regarding a variety of topics, including foundation operations, investment management, spending policies, fees, and governance.
Frank Wilkinson, Managing Director, North American Marketing for SEI’s Institutional Group, said:
“We’re looking forward to presenting the findings from our joint survey with AGB, which outline the emerging trends in foundation management and offer guidance on ways to employ these insights to help achieve better outcomes for college- and university-affiliated foundations. It is a privilege to continue our work with AGB and actively support the association’s mission of empowering college, university, and foundation boards through leadership and counsel, particularly during a time of significant change in the education landscape.”
Henry Stoever, President and CEO for AGB, said:
“SEI has been a trusted, strategic thought partner to AGB, and we are grateful for their continued partnership. College- and university-affiliated foundations have a pivotal role in the future of higher education, and they need strong sources of leading practices and benchmarking information. We are pleased to work with SEI to help strengthen foundations across the country.”
