We’re looking for an Assembly chair who is motivated by playing a leading
role in maximising the potential of the whole CPRE community to strengthen
its voice and activities for the benefit of the countryside.

The Assembly meets quarterly, usually mid-week, for about three hours. The
meetings are held online. There’ll be preparation and liaising to undertake ahead of
meetings, so we expect this role will require a time commitment of half a day a week,
two to three days a month.

The chair of the Assembly is elected annually, can serve for a maximum of three years,
and attends the trustee board meetings of the national CPRE charity.

There are many benefits to this volunteering role. Our experience from similar roles

professional and personal life. Many also report that it’s made them happier and they’ve
gained confidence to help with future aspirations.
