Trustee Leadership
The dynamic group of individuals who volunteer to serve as AGI Foundation trustees represent a broad range of industries that include petroleum, mining, and environmental, as well as academia. Each trustee has considerable experience in forming strategic alliances and coordinating the interests of individual donors or diverse organizations for mutual benefit.
The trustees are charged with the responsibility of seeking creative partnerships within the corporate and philanthropic community, which offer advantages to both the givers and recipients. They also seek financial support from individual donors. By assessing both the short- and long-term financial needs of AGI, the Foundation targets funding support to projects of national consequence, encourages coordination of fund-raising development among the member societies, anticipates the changing business and financial climate, and provides leadership in the growth and preservation of accrued assets.
