Looking through a shared lens

Learning and insights from the first Centre for Charity Effectiveness ‘Challenges in Contemporary Governance’ discussion series which took place during 2019-20.

Chaired by Lynne Berry CBE (Visiting Professor at Bayes Business School), with a group of invited Chair/CEO pairs from a range of charities, we explored in depth the many challenges and opportunities inherent in this vital relationship, through the prism of some key themes in nonprofit leadership.
