Advisory Group
The Chair is assisted in undertaking their duties by a Chair’s Advisory Group (CAG) elected from the Board for a three-year period of office (initial membership was staggered to ensure a rolling change of membership). The CAG meets on four occasions each year. CAG members have a general brief for assisting the Chair in the development of all areas of Group policy (including management of the relationship with the Policy Groups).
The CAG has a central role in the development of relationships with Government, Funding Bodies, and HE Stakeholder Organisations. In addition, CAG members are available to speak to the media on behalf of the Group if the Chair is unavailable.
