Join us online on 8 October for our first Clerks to the Board Network Meeting of the academic year.

We'll be bringing together clerks, governance professionals, and secretariat staff from across our diverse member institutions to discuss the latest developments and share practice.

These network meetings are a fantastic opportunity to:

  • Connect with network members and guests over conversations on emerging challenges, opportunities and developments affecting HE governance.
  • Learn from expert speakers on key, timely topics such as such as board effectiveness, financial and strategic planning and institutional governance culture.
  • Hear from GuildHE about what the latest policy and strategic developments mean for you and for the sector - and have your say!

The full agenda will be shared with registrants.
