Reginald Robinson, president and chief executive officer of the Kansas Board of Regents, recently was elected chairman-elect of the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association.

“I am honored that my colleagues across the country have selected me to serve in this leadership role,” said Robinson, a Lawrence resident.

“I look forward to my continuing participation in the national higher education policy conversation in the coming year, and I hope to contribute in a way that benefits Kansas, as well as the broader national higher education community,” he said.

SHEEO, with headquarters in Boulder, Colo., is a nonprofit association of the CEOs serving statewide coordinating boards and governing boards of postsecondary education.
