Association of Chairs: New Chair's Briefing - an online workshop

This online workshop is aimed at Chairs who are new in post or about to take up the post. The session will explore the leadership skills and knowledge that will make you the most effective Chair you can become – and the support that you might need. The emphasis will be on the strengths you bring, as well as the ‘gaps’ you want to fill. And we will offer some tips that might be useful in your particular setting.

The focus is on the role in practice; enabling the trustees to deliver on their legal duties, what good governance is in practice, and building a collaborative and effective governing body.

By the end of this session, you will have:

• covered the basics regarding the legal duties of the board
• explored approaches to management of the role based on the Chair’s Compass
• reflected on approaches to working with the CEO
• had an opportunity to network with other Chairs
• considered priorities for your own development and support
