WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

To be held on Saturday 5th March 2011 at ESIS, Ty Dysgu, Nantgarw, Treforest

Governors Wales in partnership with Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Vale of Glamorgan Local Authorities, invites you and colleagues to its South East Wales conference at ESIS, Treforest, Nantgarw, on Saturday 5th March 2011. Numbers are limited, so it is advisable to book as soon as possible.

The conference aims to share information with school governors on successful examples of collaboration at school and Local Authority level. There will also be opportunities to network with other governors from across South East Wales to exchange knowledge and experience of effective school governance.

We are fortunate to have extremely knowledgeable and respected guest speakers and facilitators of supplementary sessions who are prepared to give governors the benefit of their experience. We very much hope that you are able to join us at ESIS.
