About
The Northern Ireland Public Sector Chairs' Forum is the membership body for Chairs and Non-Executive Directors of public bodies across Northern Ireland.
Our Purpose
The Public Sector Chairs’ Forum is a member-led, information sharing and networking resource for chairs of public bodies whose overarching purpose is to enhance leadership in Northern Ireland.
Our Vision
We aspire to be seen as the pre-eminent focal point for governance in the boardrooms of Northern Ireland’s public bodies.
Our ambition is to ensure that the Forum is relevant, outwardly focused and critically engaging; above all, we aim to make a difference by working collaboratively to improve public services.
Our Objectives
We seek to further the purpose of the Forum by pursuing the following objectives:
-
To provide a connected network of leaders inside as well as outside the Forum
-
To promote best governance practice and new leadership thinking in public bodies
-
To influence the public sector and wider environment on relevant governance and leadership matters
Chairpersons of public bodies in Northern Ireland who have come through a public appointments process are eligible to join the Forum. This includes bodies where the chairperson is elected by its membership.
​
While the chairperson will be the lead member, many of our events and publications are also open to other Non-Executive Directors and the wider organisation.
