Kristina Broughton, current Chair of the South West Fed, has announced that she will be stepping down at the end of her term at the next AGM in June 2025. Whilst this may seem a long way off at the moment, the search for our new Chair begins now!
This is an exciting opportunity for an individual to lead the South West Fed, the oldest regional museums federation in the country, in its role as a respected and valued organisation in the sector. We are looking for someone with vision, energy and strong leadership to develop and expand the South West Fed’s current direction, activities and relationships, and help to see it through to its 100th year!
The role of the Chair is a unique opportunity to enhance personal and professional skills and expertise at strategic/board level, lead a well-respected regional sector organisation, and be influential within the heritage sector. The full role profile can be found on the South West Fed website.
Our members play an important role in helping us to recruit to the South West Fed Board, so if you’re not interested but know someone who would be, please pass it on!
