As our communities face new challenges and opportunities, it’s essential that our local councils are guided by individuals who can navigate change with confidence and vision. That’s why I’m reaching out to those who are passionate about leadership in local governance—we need you to stand for DALC’s Board of Directors!
The Devon Association of Local Councils (DALC) is dedicated to supporting parish and town councils as they respond to the dynamic needs of our communities. Serving as a non-executive director at DALC places you at the heart of this mission. Your leadership will help ensure that our councils remain adaptable, resilient, and prepared to tackle whatever comes their way.
In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to influence the strategic direction of DALC, guiding our policies and initiatives to better serve our members. By fostering an environment of agility and forward-thinking, you can help local councils thrive in an ever-changing landscape. Your expertise will contribute to strengthening governance, ensuring that our councils are not just reacting to change, but leading it.
Joining the DALC Board also means connecting with a network of like-minded leaders who share your commitment to making a difference. You’ll engage with fellow directors who are just as passionate about fostering innovation and excellence in local government.
We invite you to bring your leadership skills to the table and help us navigate the future of local governance in Devon. Together, we can ensure that our councils continue to be strong, agile, and impactful.
