You took on the role of Society President towards the end of last year. What are the key differences between the role of Chair and President? Historically, the President has been the Chair of the Board as well as being the President. Under the new structure agreed by members last year at an EGM, the Trustee Board has been streamlined as described by the previous President in the previous issue of SOE News, allowing the President to influence the Board without being the Chair. It allows me to step back and take a broader view, allowing an element of freedom to look at the Society rather than chair the Board but still be actively involved as a Trustee and Board member. It also gives me the opportunity to communicate more with HQ and relate to the office members as well as helping the chief operating officer where needed. |
