The Interviews
David Brief, chair of Headway East London
"You should only get involved in voluntary work if you like the people and the environment is interesting."
Peter Fell, chair of All About Audiences
"I think changes are simply necessary for survival. So I think the chief executive and chair should take a longer term view, trying to look at least five to seven years ahead."
Richard Watts, chair of Spread the Word
"If we, as leaders, engage in questions about our organisations those questions and the answers we come to will develop us through that process."
Mike Hoskin, chair of Creative Dorset
"For the chair, there’s an opportunity to go out and have real high impact discussions about their organisation, to be ambassadors and to make sure that their organisation remains vital and keeps learning."
Sally Taylor, chair of PRS for Music Foundation
"There are may be a few advantages to being a woman chair insofar as one can use a certain amount of charm, cajoling and humour in a way that a man might feel was slightly demeaning."
Terry O'Rourke, chair of Dorset Visual Arts
"I am a firm believer that those parts of the world that have had a really strong cultural strategy have actually achieved an economic benefit from it."
