Following the current Chair-elect taking a job abroad, the Deben Estuary Partnership is seeking a new Chair.  If you are interested in finding out more about the role, do please contact the DEP Vice-Chair at Vice-Chair@debenestuarypartnership.org<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The work of the Chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chair\u2019s work is essentially about leading and representing the organisation from within. In simple terms there are 4 SG meetings a year, including an AGM, but in reality, it is about gently directing the Partnership\u2019s activity and a broader representational role of engaging with all the stakeholders and agencies. This is leadership with \u2018soft power\u2019. Everyone involved with the river and the estuary are, without exception, deeply passionate about safeguarding the estuary for generations to come. There is a very strong sense of community and service, but it is also a very disparate community, that does need to have a sense of collaboration and cohesion. Vested interests are all very well, but the Chair must make sure that all parties in the Partnership pull together to a common aim, and that the organisation is perceived as being strong, unified, relevant and respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
