Bethany Hancock, CUBO Communications Officer
CUBO is inviting applications for the position of Conference Chair on the CUBO Executive Committee.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Phil Scott, who will be stepping down from the CUBO Executive Committee after six years of dedicated service. Phil has played a pivotal role in the growth and success of CUBO’s conference portfolio, enhancing the experience for hundreds of delegates.
This voluntary role is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of your professional association, gain experience of company directorship and develop your professional network.
As a member of the CUBO Executive, you will contribute to setting strategic direction and work alongside a dedicated staff team to add membership value and champion the role of campus and commercial services in university and college life. In addition, you will take the lead on our conference portfolio.
This is a non-executive position that is rewarding and has great impact for the association and its members. The Board meets formally four times per year (twice online and twice in person), with additional short catch ups as required, communicating electronically. This role requires approx. 6-8 hours per month, which includes attendance at weekly 1-hour online conference planning meetings.
Board Member, Conference Portfolio
In this role, you will lead the strategic direction of CUBO’s conference portfolio, influence sector conversations, and enhance the experience for hundreds of professionals.

Who Should Apply?
We welcome applications from directors or heads of service who are passionate about sector development and have the support of their line manager to take on a leadership role of this nature.
