About DAG

What does DAG aim to do?

DAG aims to help governing boards to further the interests of the children in our schools by:

• providing a collective voice for governors and trustees both locally in relation to the Local Authority and nationally through the National Governance Association by making representations and responding to consultations
• sharing and consulting on issues of common concern and offering guidance as appropriate
• disseminating the national experience of Governing Boards and governor associations
• encouraging governors, trustees, governance professionals and clerks to share experience and concerns
• identifying and distributing best practice.

The Way DAG Operates

Members of the DAG Board are elected at the AGM following the annual conference or co-opted during the year. The Chair and Vice-chair are elected at the first board meeting following the AGM.  The officers and representatives of the Association are appointed by the Board.
