Avoiding governance failure – lessons from the Charity Commission’s casework: an opportunity for Chairs to meet senior Commission staff and hear about its role.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE TO THE INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORS.

The Institute of Directors 
116 Pall Mall
London
SW1Y 5ED

We’re delighted to welcome Paula Sussex, Chief Executive of the Charity Commission and her senior management colleagues to explore with Chairs and Vice Chairs what we can all learn from governance failures.

The session will be an opportunity for Chairs to gain insight into common causes or triggers for governance failure, meet and put questions to the Commission’s Directors, hear about the Commission’s role and its approach to regulation, and learn from one another.

We are pleased to also be joined by the following Charity Commission Directors:

Sarah Atkinson (Director of Policy and Communications)
Michelle Russell (Director of Investigations, Monitoring and Enforcement)
Kenneth Dibble (Director of Legal Services)
David Holdsworth (Chief Operating Officer & Registrar).

Paula Sussex and her colleagues will talk about the role and current approach of the Commission and current governance issues- drawing on the Commission’s case work. (If you haven’t seen it before, do take a look at Tackling Abuse and Mismanagement– the Commission’s annual report on its investigations).

From the Association of Chairs, Executive Director Ros Oakley will share key insights from our recent survey of Chairs.

There will  be time for questions, discussion and networking.

This event is open to all Chairs and Vice Chairs- though priority for places is given to our members. Please note we intend to repeat this event later in the year-probably in Birmingham.
