Trustees work best when they're free to focus on setting policy and strategy, not administration.
CES board secretaries understand the unique nature of schools and their specific needs. They can remove the load from your Board of Trustees, allowing them to focus on setting strategy and policy.
The benefits of having an independent secretary:
A CES board secretary will provide your school with the following advantages:
- Expert knowledge of correct meeting procedures and ensure your legal obligations are met
- An outsider's perspective which encourages full participation at meetings
- Advice and practical assistance by a qualified manager and accountants
- A proven track record with successful involvement with over 200 schools
- Continuity of service (a replacement board secretary immediately available)
- Data security - copies of board records are safely stored outside the school
- Confidential handling of sensitive staff issues and queries.
