Who we are
Chaired by the CEO, the Council is made up of the chairs of UCISA’s special interest groups, chairs of the regional groups and a number of co-opted members. Other members of UCISA staff attend on an ex officio basis.
What we do
The purpose of the UCISA Leadership Council is to define and propose activities that meet UCISA’s charitable purpose, in line with the agreed strategy and direction as determined by the UCISA Board of Trustees and membership, to act as a focal point for engagement between UCISA and its members and to maintain relationships with other relevant organisations in the UK and abroad.
