At the Devon Association of Local Councils (DALC), we believe that strong relationships and partnership working are the cornerstone of vibrant and effective local governance. Our mission is to foster these connections, ensuring that our member councils thrive and work in harmony with principal authorities. Today, we’re excited to extend an invitation to those passionate about local government and community development: join us as a non-executive director!
As a non-executive director at DALC, you’ll play a pivotal role in strengthening the bond between DALC and its member councils, and between parish/town councils and principal authorities. Your insights will help shape policies, guide strategic decisions, and influence how we allocate resources and deliver our services. This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact, not only within DALC but across the wider community we serve.
By stepping into this role, you’ll have the chance to work alongside like-minded individuals who are equally committed to enhancing local governance. Imagine collaborating with a diverse group of passionate council members, sharing ideas, and building relationships that can drive positive change throughout Devon.
Serving as a non-executive director is also a fantastic opportunity for personal and professional growth. You’ll gain invaluable experience in strategic planning, governance, and financial management—skills that are highly transferable and beneficial across various professional landscapes. Plus, you’ll expand your network, connecting with individuals dedicated to making a difference in their communities.
We are looking for individuals who are ready to commit their time, energy, and expertise to help us build a brighter future for our members. If you have a passion for local councils and a desire to contribute to their success, we encourage you to apply.
Join us in this exciting journey of building bridges and fostering strong, collaborative relationships. Help us to empower local councils and make Devon an even better place to live, work, and play.
