It is crucial that Chairs of Trustees continue to access the latest insights, developments and updates from across the system – and invest time in their own ongoing professional development.

All Chairs of Trustees whose CEO, COO and/or Education Executive is a member of Forum Strategy, are entitled to attend our termly complimentary seminars for Chairs.

This term’s event will focus on our recent think piece by Forum Strategy’s founder Michael Pain and international corporate governance expert Patrick Dunne, on what we mean by thriving governance in multi-academy trusts. The seminar will focus on issues such as the key characteristics of thriving boards, the relationship between the board and the executive leader, the interactions between other layers of governance – such as members and local governance committees, the board’s role in pure accountability, and much more.

This will be an opportunity for Chairs to reflect on some of the latest thinking, to consider what a thriving board means to them, and to share their perspectives with other Chairs from across the country. There will also be a sector update from Forum Strategy’s Executive Director, Alice Gregson.

Development days for Trust Boards: Separately, we are running development events for trust boards, based on the thinking around thriving trusts and our extensive knowledge of the trust sector. These are a valuable opportunity to provide a rich, insightful, and engaging professional development opportunity for whole trust board, based on careful facilitation by Michael Pain and our extensive and highly credible thought leadership work. Forum Strategy has run development days for dozens of trust boards across the country. To find out more visit: Board Development | Forum Strategy
