Augsburg鈥檚 Board of Regents was awarded the 2017 John W. Nason Award for Board Leadership for efforts including initiating an inclusive, five-year strategic planning effort and leading the institution鈥檚 largest-ever capital campaign. The formal recognition is to come in April at the Association of Governing Board of Universities and Colleges National Conference on Trusteeship held in San Francisco. This year鈥檚 honorees were chosen from about 40 nominations nationwide.

鈥淭raditionally, governing boards have stayed out of the public eye except when something goes wrong,鈥� said Richard Legon, president of the association鈥檚 board of directors. 鈥淏ut it is important that we honor the best of us, and inspire good governance practices in others. These boards鈥� stories represent some of the sharpest and most innovative thinking in the sector.鈥�

Now in its third year, the award is named for higher education leader John W. Nason, recognizing his work as chair of the National Japanese American Student Relocation Council in helping more than 4,000 interned students continue their college studies across the U.S. during World War II.
