Strategic to Participate in AGB’s 2026 Foundation Leadership Forum
Strategic’s Nikki Kraus, Chief Executive Officer, along with members of our senior leadership team, will be attending the Association of Governing Boards’ (AGB) Foundation Leadership Forum (FLF) in San Diego, February 1-3, 2026.
As part of the program, Strategic is once again serving as a co‑sponsor of the AGB Endowment Governance Workshop, held on:
• February 1, 2026
• 1:15–3:45 PM PT
• Hilton San Diego Bayfront, San Diego, CA
The workshop, developed in partnership with AGB, offers governing board members and investment committee leaders an opportunity to strengthen fiduciary oversight and enhance endowment stewardship.
During the session, experts will explore:
- Fiduciary duties specific to higher‑education endowments
- Best practices for investment committee structure and performance
- Aligning investment policy with mission and long‑term strategy
- Real‑world scenarios and case studies from peer institutions
Common questions board members and investment committees face today will also be discussed, including:
- Should we tap the endowment to address short‑term pressures?
- Are we doing enough to protect and grow our assets?
- How do we ensure alignment between investments and institutional priorities?
Strategic CEO Nikki Kraus will serve as a speaker, sharing insights on effective governance, committee engagement, and long‑term investment oversight.
We look forward to joining leaders from across the country for this high‑impact workshop and the broader FLF discussions. Join us in San Diego!
