Reach the people who shape education

Connect with governance leaders across schools and trusts

For over 20 years, the National Governance Association (NGA) has been the leading voice for school and trust governance. We represent decision-makers who shape the future of education – from chairs and trustees to governance professionals, CEOs and executive leaders.

Partner with NGA and connect directly with this highly engaged and influential audience.

Why this audience matters

💡

Did you know?

Over 250,000 governance volunteers are supporting schools and trusts across the country.

Governors and trustees aren’t passive observers. They set strategy, manage budgets, appoint leaders, and hold institutions to account.

Yet they remain one of the most underestimated and untapped audiences in the education and public service sectors.

Why partner with NGA?

  • Direct access to decision-makers
    Reach leaders influencing more than 70% of schools and trusts across England.
  • Trusted brand alignment
    Boost your credibility by partnering with the only dedicated national membership body for school trust governance.
  • Tailored campaigns
    Get seen where it matters – through events, webinars, newsletters, and Governing Matters magazine features.
  • Deep engagement
    Our audience is actively seeking solutions, partnerships, and services, not just attending events.
