All well and good telling us to go and speak to the board. But, i was mocked and ridiculued by andrew shawe the last time I attempted that.
My view is Graham, Karen and co would be best heading up our community structhre. They've done an excellent job running that side of it.
I'd like our board to issue a quartley or month update on what they do. Chester's board do. I dont doubt they work hard but perhaps it'd allow us to see what they do and don't do in order to plug gaps.
Our board needs a professional PR or communication person on the board asap. Perhaps we offer a position to the MD of PR firm. Manc Frank? Social Chain? Manchester Jazz Festival offered one to my ex-boss. He hated Jazz and yet took it because he wanted to learn more about charities and trusts etc.
Margret Thatcher - love or hate put people who knew more than her in charge of that role. Maybe it s time we did the same.
