Why Governance Professionals Should Give Something Back

A further education governance role is an opportunity for personal development and making a difference to the community.

There is a significant moment in many people's careers that goes unremarked even though it is worth celebrating. It is the moment when you feel confident in the job you are doing, not because there are no challenges, but because you know that you have the experience and the skills required to face those challenges.

That moment often coincides with a feeling of wanting to give something back, or perhaps an urge to use and develop the skills that you have acquired in a different context. It may not be immediately obvious what you can do to address that feeling, but there is an effective way: volunteer your time and transfer your skills.
