Few of the factors to consider when constituting the board of directors.

What’s a public appointment? 🤔 It’s when Ministers appoint someone to join the board of a public body or advisory committee, usually as a chair or non-executive director. 🌍 Appointees help guide the strategy, agree business plans and represent the work of the body!🌱✨ #PublicAppointments #Defra #Environment #Nature #NEDs #Chair #BoardMember #Trustees

When taking office, board members commit to being fully engaged—attending meetings regularly, preparing by reviewing materials, supporting board decisions, and treating fellow members with respect. Is there alignment between what you expect from your board members and what they are delivering? #BoardGovernance #ClubGovernance

🦘BUSH TELEGRAPH 📰 Are you a #regionalaustraliachampion? Rural hotspots like Central West Queensland and surrounds hold the golden key to our future 🔑 Regional Australia is where our food is grown, critical minerals extracted, renewable energy harnessed; and ultimately where our biodiversity battles both for survival and renewal will be won and lost. Balancing the needs of today with those of tomorrow is only made possible by the fierce dedication and passion of individuals and communities who fight daily not just for their livelihoods but the land we all love. Their courage and commitment to our collective future deserves recognition and much stronger support. This Communique or “Bush Telegraph” is a great demonstration of good governance, transparency and accountability; and it also helps “the rest” of Australia keep in touch with the current goings on “in the bush”. I guarantee you’ll be surprised… Well done RAPAD - Remote Area Planning and Development Board on this initiative. I especially enjoyed your insights on renewable energy policy and sustainable development. Every Australian should be a champion of regional, rural and remote lands, waters and communities. Our future relies on it!

In the latest edition of the IPANZ public sector journal, Andrew Horwood, a Managing Principal at MartinJenkins, draws on his own experience as a private secretary in a ministerial office - and a little bit of late ‑ 70s Neil Young - to look at how agencies, officials, and private secretaries can build trust with their ministers and with each other. You can find a link to the journal in the comments.

If you were elected to the ICMA executive board, you have an obligation to answer questions and take positions on important issues. You volunteered to run for and were "elected" to a political position. Every current member of the board has had more than a year to read the depositions provided under oath by ICMA staff and other exec board members. This includes Marc Ott, Martha Perego, Jessica Cowles and Molly Mehner, AICP, ICMA-CM. I have two very simple questions for the new members elected and who will be seated in a couple of weeks. 1️⃣ Have you requested and received copies of these deposition transcripts? 2️⃣ Have any of you taken the time to read these deposition transcripts? Brandon Ford, MPA, MPS liked yesterday's ICMA - International City/County Management Association post claiming that the organization's process was "thorough, thoughtful, and professional." Has Mr. Ford read these transcripts? Surely, if he is willing to "like" that post he is willing to go on the record here. What about: ➡️Sereniah Breland ➡️Elisa Cox, ICMA-CM ➡️Chelsea Jackson ➡️Cindy Sheldon Steinhauser - ICMA-CM ➡️Lungile Dlamini, and ➡️Mike Land --------- I am building a reference section to layout all the information related to James Freed's lawsuit against the ICMA. It is a work in progress and will be update here: https://lnkd.in/eVdFViHQ
