Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council held on 9 July 2009 [COUN09-M4] were CONFIRMED.
Sir
John Gains gave a progress report on the Appointment of the next Chair of
Council. The process had started in
2008/09 and it had been hoped that a successor to Sir Bryan Carsberg would be
identified from amongst existing networks.
However, it had been necessary to engage Odgers to assist with the
process of compiling a suitable shortlist.
An advert had recently been placed in the Sunday Times and a small
number of additional candidates had been identified. These individuals would be contacted over the
next 4-6 weeks to establish whether or not they were interested in the
role. Council would receive further
progress reports in due course.
Council NOTED that the Chair had taken
action between meetings, on the advice of Human Resources Committee, to approve
the appointment of Honorary Professors/Fellows.
