Really useful explanation - especially when you wear both exec & NED hats; remember those key differences of responsibility
"We’re often asked by trustees new to the charity sector to explain the difference between being a board member, and being a chief executive or other senior manager in the sector. In their world, perhaps a private company or a public body, it’s normal for the organisation to have a unitary board, with executive and non-executive directors having equal status and responsibilities. While their non-executive directors are part time, they have the same legal duties as their colleagues, and are often paid for the role. The principle of collective responsibility applies to the board, and it’s really important that all board members know the role when they take it on." When is a director not a director?

Leading on this project with John Heritage and his team at David Lewis Centre has been one of the highlights of my Career. Often Co-production is seen as tokenism or something that we should do. Its is so much more, it is life changing when done properly..It is invigorating to set the conditions to hand the reins and decision making to those with whom the outcomes directly impact. It is the sign of a true Leader that is not afraid to hear what the users of services want, let this actively design the road map of the future and commit to supporting the initiatives they wish to be prioritised. There can be no better achievement than giving those with a Disability a platform to be just as able as anyone else. The humility and cooperation that both of the Co-Chairs have shown to each other and the wider David Lewis beneficiaries , many Chairman and leaders could learn from. Listening to each other, lobbying for the priorities the people they represent have voted for (even if they personally dont favour). Engagement to the cause and the people they have been elected to serve. Never missing or being late to a meeting. NOT having a laptop on or phones vibrating! Communication, understanding through their own experiences that just because some one cannot speak...doesnt mean they dont have something valuable to say. Caring enough to 'hear' using all of the senses. Equitable Status is sitting with the top table, influencing the design and direction of travel and outcomes that are actually wanted. Equity is this perfect balance of shaping the future together with lived experience at the very core. Want a fantastic Exec Team 💐 What a way to keep this wonderful Charity current for the next 100 years. #co-production #co-design #chairmanship #equity #alittlepieceofhistory David Lewis Centre @maria@flanagan-associates.co.uk 💐
Today was definitely one of the highlights of my time David Lewis Centre as Chief Executive - the first joint meeting of the Exec Team (and some guests!) and the Two joint Chairs (paid roles) of the People we support Council. Great to talk about the key priorities the Council and its members from across our charity have identified as important to them and how we can together take them forward. Huge amount of work by our two co-Chairs and those supporting them to get the feedback and prioritise what's important. A game changer for us and I'm beyond excited about it and where next 🙌 Maria Flanagan Victoria Entwistle Neil Edwards Simon Messenger Susan Hunt Gayle Derrick #peoplepower #coproduction

Unveiling the Reality of Corporate Chairs in Charity Sector! 🌟 Dive deep into the nuances of governance transitions with Debra Allcock Tyler on Third Sector. Chairs crossing over from corporate backgrounds often face hurdles adapting to charity governance. Is it a blessing or a curse? 🤔 Here are some key takeaways: - Chairs from corporations may struggle as they navigate the differences in governance practices between sectors. - Understanding the legal and practical disparities is crucial for a successful transition. - The chair's role in the charity sector is distinct from the corporate world, with no inherent special powers or authority. - Boards must not relinquish their duty to the chair; accountability is shared amongst all trustees.

"Empowerment Through Employment: Building Dignity Beyond Charity" True greatness lies not in giving charity, but in creating lasting opportunities for others. Charity can provide temporary relief, but sustainable impact comes from empowering individuals to earn their livelihoods with dignity. Employment not only helps people become self-reliant, but also fosters a sense of respect, purpose, and pride. By creating jobs, we enable individuals to build a better future for themselves and their families, breaking cycles of dependency and paving the way for a stronger, more resilient society. #EmpowermentNotCharity #DignityThroughEmployment #OpportunityForAll #BuildingSelfReliance #SustainableImpact #RespectfulUpliftment #JobsForDignity #CreateOpportunities
