The C&AG will reiterate the importance of effective public service boards in the current climate of change and transformation. He will reflect on the importance of the new partnership approach creating tangible and positive change in how boards operate and are supported, producing improved outcomes for the citizens they serve.
The event will include a panel discussion involving representatives of the key roles in ALB relationships: the Chair, the Chief Executive and the departmental sponsor.
This is an interactive event and guests will have the opportunity to put their questions and comments to our panellists.
We look foward to welcoming you in person to The Pavilion, NICSSA, Stormont Estate, Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast BT4 3TA or virtually. Guests attending in person will be offered light refreshments from 8:00am and the briefing will commence at 8:30am
