09/86       Appointment of Chair of Council

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.

09/87       Chair’s Action

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.
