The Chair reminded members that the Good Governance Institute will be commencing their governance review and will be contacting members for 1:1 meetings and will be attending the April board and ARAC and May board meetings.
05/03/23 The Chair discussed the recent board teach-in sessions that have been run by the executive and senior officers. Members all agreed that these sessions had been very helpful, however the Chair noted that there is not always full attendance at these sessions. Officers invest a lot of time preparing these sessions, and so she wanted to discuss with members what the reasons were for non-attendance. She encouraged members to make themselves available for these sessions as the topics are mainly the areas identified by them. She asked all members to note down their preference for when these sessions were held going forward ie. Day, time. Management and the board secretary will then put hold dates into diaries and members were encouraged to make themselves available to attend. Action: CK
Date of next meeting: 25 April 2023
