Recruiting a chair, trustees and chief executive

If you are, or will be, involved in the appointment of a new chair, trustee or chief executive of a charity, ACEVO and Green Park have produced a guide to support you throughout the process. The marketplace is never static and the candidate pool is never the same. Leadership and governance are changing rapidly and influence what organisations look for, the qualities they recruit for, and the cultures they want to establish. Recruitment practices evolve, and because we are dealing with people and people change their minds, even the best laid plans have to be adapted quickly and constantly. This guide provides a step by step process, from the planning phase to the post appointment phase, and will help you to plan ahead and prepare for common challenges.
