Thank you - it really was a lovely day :D

Well done @hoylerosemary.bsky.social - this will be such a lovely diary of your journey too :D That view is amazing!

I really like this question. A strong board isn’t one that always agrees, but one that welcomes robust discussion. Cohesion comes from valuing different viewpoints and creating space for governors to feel heard and understood.

Yes, very happy to if that's ok :D

Thank you 😀 Very excited!

Congratulations 🎉

My fab colleagues across the country researching school governance @tjwprice.bsky.social @danigov.bsky.social @sarahjchung.bsky.social & @belmasoffice.bsky.social who pull all this research together with research groups, journals and conferences. Get in touch if you're a post grad in this field

Thank you! The journey has most definitely been helped by having the wonderful governance research group you so very kindly started 😀

Safe travels and see you soon 😀

Definitely agree on both those points.

Thanks, Emma! There is some discussion around online learning, especially its benefits in making training more accessible, with some noting a bigger uptake of training during Covid because it was online. However, there were some concerns around loss of networking opportunities/nuance in discussions.

It was great talking with you this morning @hoylerosemary.bsky.social !

Finally, our thanks to those who joined us as chairs: Dr Beth Marley; Dr Kamran Khan; Dr Laura D'Olimpio; Dr Anthea Gulliford; Nicklas Lindstrom; Lloyd Hopkins.
