Report of the Board’s AGBIS representative.

The Board considered a report of their AGBIS representative providing information on the AGBIS AGM and Conference which took place on 10 March 2015 and also details of a breakout session on governance which had been particularly interesting and had resulted in a suggestion to undertake a review of governance at the School to ensure that the Board was following best practice.

Members discussed the advantages and disadvantages of appointing a group to undertake a review of governance.

RESOLVED – That

1) the report be noted; and

2) a Governance Working Party be appointed, to be led by Edward Lord, the AGBIS representative and comprising the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, the Head and the Senior Deputy to review the current governance of the School, considering the possible appointment of Committees together with any skill sets which the Board would benefit from; with as much as possible of the information to be considered via email with a view to the submission of a Strategy paper to the October meeting of the Board.
