Abstract
Governance is integral to the success of organizations. Understanding how successful organizations work and, more critically, what makes them effective relative to their targeted goals and objectives is essential for the successful execution of governance at institutions of higher education. This qualitative study sought to explore the training that trustees receive at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their understanding of how it increased proficiency in their new roles. It extends what we know about trustees at HBCUs, specifically as it relates to the selection, training, development, and governance of board members.
