Professor Will Foster, Director of MBA Programmes from Keele Business School, and KIITE Fellow has been appointed to the Advance HE Leadership and Management Strategic Advisory Group.

The group, made up of 12 individuals drawn from Advance HE member institutions, is chaired by Shân Wareing, Deputy Vice Chancellor at the University of Northampton, and will help shape Advance HE’s work in continuing to develop confident and capable leaders, equipping them to respond to current and future sector challenges.

The advisory group will help to identify current and emerging strategic leadership and management issues, challenges and opportunities, will scrutinise Advance HE’s priority and operational plans, and will act as a sounding board for policy and programme development, helping to determine development priorities.

Professor Foster said:

“Advance HE has significant sector influence and is committed to improving Higher Education for staff, students and society so it’s a great privilege and wonderful opportunity to be involved in helping shape their approach to strategic and emergent issues in leadership and management.”
