This office is charged with providing support for local Boards of Trustees. Our mission is to foster two-way communication between the Board and the Department of Higher Education (DHE) and the local Boards of Trustees. More broadly, the Office presents an opportunity to facilitate heightened levels of collaboration, communication, and information sharing at the board level. This fosters a cohesive, mission-driven system of public higher education focused on meeting the needs of the state and specifically of our students, employers, and our communities.
Trustees will find resources, documents, and materials in the Trustee Training and Resources section of the website. You may also contact Alex Demou, Director of Constituent and Legislative Affairs, by email at ademou@dhe.mass.edu with any additional questions.
