Chairing a board: developing governance, sharing leadership is a policy report from the National Governance Association (NGA) focusing on the vital, but often unrecognised, role of the chair on governing boards. Drawing from NGA's extensive evidence base and its work with chairs of all different types and phases of schools and trusts across England, the report takes an in-depth look at the current state of board leadership, outlining who is and isn't currently stepping forward into chairing positions, the managability of the role and practice of current chairs, the recruitment process and the importance of developing current and future chairs.
