Cultural Governance Alliance
Event details
- 16 May - 18 May 2023
The Cultural Governance Alliance (CGA) is a light-touch collective of agencies, organisations and advocates working strategically to champion, share and promote best practice in the governance of culture.
Formed in 2017, the CGA’s vision is for a resilient and relevant cultural sector, with highly performing cultural organisations whose boards and trustees are supported to perform at their best: to be stronger, better informed and better equipped to demonstrate excellence in governance.
The CGA’s key activities include:
- Signposting: Providing a primary reference point for good governance advice, information and practice.
- Collaboration: Coordinating and promoting cross-sector opportunities including workshops, seminars, training and professional development. Creating and optimising opportunities for the co-production of resources and events.
- Advocacy: Sparking and encouraging dynamic and constructive engagement with the topic of good governance through dialogue, forums, events and activities
For latest programme offers and governance opportunities across the cultural sector, follow the CGA on Twitter: Cultural Governance Alliance (@GovernCulture) / Twitter including the weekly #TrusteeTuesday highlighting trustee opportunities.
More about the CGA
The Cultural Governance Alliance (CGA) was formed in response to the recommendations of the Achieving Good Governance report, (the original report was commissioned by Clore Leadership in 2016, together with a consortium of trusts and foundations including Clore Duffield Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Foyle Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation and Paul Hamlyn Foundation).
Whilst acknowledging a number of key strengths in sector governance, the report recognised that:
“The current environment requires that the governance of arts organisations and museums becomes more adaptive and far-sighted…”
The review’s key recommendations called for a step change in governance practice, addressing the need for improved infrastructure and coordination of efforts as well as creating culture change through improved sector practice.
