Dear Fellow Trustees,
It is an honor and privilege to serve as a trustee within the PASSHE system and to
serve you as president of PACT. The goal of our organization is to help you be the
best trustee possible by providing a network of support for all trustees at a university
with PASSHE.
PACT Conference
This year’s annual conference will be held virtually on April 3, 2024 from 12-2 p.m. In addition to the traditional report from the Chancellor and Board of Governors
chair and a short business meeting, we have invited representatives from the American
Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) to facilitate a discussion on the role of trustees in the State System. Our role
as trustees is quite different than the trustee role at private or state related institutions,
and we want to explore these differences and how we respond. This is a conference
that you do not want to miss.
As always, contact me if you have any questions.
Dr. Rich Frerichs
President
Pennsylvania Association of Councils of Trustees
