Introduction from the Chair of the Board of Management

Thank you for your interest in the Board of Management at Glasgow Clyde College. I have been a member of the Board now for eight years. If you value the work of colleges and have some relevant skills and experience to bring to the Board, you will find this is a rewarding role.

Things I have valued in my time at Glasgow Clyde have been:

• Making a contribution as a member of a college team that enriches the communities it serves, and helps change the lives of the 17,000 students who study here each year
• Helping decide on the College’s priorities, and challenging managers and staff constantly to improve the service we offer our students
• Using my work experience to contribute to discussions at Board committees on how to provide training effectively and how best
  to use the college’s resources
• Networking with, and learning from, fellow Board members, who are students, college staff, and external members from a range
  of backgrounds
• Seeing the work of the college’s governors and staff translate into good results: better learning outcomes for students and high levels of student achievement and satisfaction.

I hope that once you have read the recruitment material you will feel you would like to apply.

If it would be helpful to talk about the role, I would be delighted to speak with you. I can be contacted on dnewall@glasgowclyde.ac.uk.

Best wishes
David Newall
Chair, Board of Management
