Leadership Summit 2009
What is an effective and high performing governing body in higher education?
The Leadership Summit 2009 will look at questions raised such as: What exactly is an effective governing body in an HEI?; What is meant by a high performing governing body?; and How effective is the relationship between the executive leadership and the governing body?
In helping to answer these questions this conference will do three main things:
- Launch and discuss the findings of a major research project on effective governance in UK higher education.
- Consider possible trends in governance across all sectors in the next five years.
- Feature both presentations and group discussions on five of the specific key challenges that senior leaders of HEIs and their governing bodies are likely to face in the next few years.
The Leadership Summit 2009 will also see the launch of several new resources for governing bodies of UK HEIs:
- Five easy-to-read guides for all governors on the main resource areas for which they are responsible (finance, risk, HR, audit, and estates and infrastructure)
- A new web site on governance in higher education
- An updated version of the CUC Guide for Governors
