We are indebted to all those who have
participated in this ground-breaking project.
There are too many to list individually.
Many people have given their time and their
contributions have given us great insight into
the vital work of colleges and the role of the
governing body in enabling colleges to realise
their strategic aims. Above all, we acknowledge
the management and boards of the participating colleges and the members of the Impact
Group who have steered us along the way.
Their generosity and openness in allowing us
into the boardroom has been truly humbling.
One of our participants has called the governing
body the 'secret garden of colleges'. While we
like the idea of this, we hope that this garden
is not so secret any longer!
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THANKS
