The Employee Governors’ Network (EGN):
FEdS has set up and is developing an Employee Governors’ Network website. Many FEdS member organisations have employees who are school and college governors and they could use some support and advice.
Working with our partner organisations: the National Governor Association (NGA), the School Governors’ One Stop Shop (SGOSS), the National Co-ordinators of Governor Services (NCOGS), and with FEdS member companies, we have devised a networked community for your use as an employee governor where all members of your company who are school or college governors can ‘meet’ to:
- share ideas about the things that are facing you and your school or college
- ask questions about how key issues are being tackled and get answers that help you
- exchange ideas about what works with each other to improve your effectiveness
- get ‘quick guides’ to key developments in policy, curriculum and qualifications, research
- link to the main websites for governors’ organisations – each of which has helped develop the EGN as a new and separate initiative for the UK
The site is a work in progress and we will keep you up to date on developments which will need your support and which we hope will benefit you and your colleagues. The site can be viewed at www.employeegovernors.com
