The AERC Alcohol Academy is looking for non-executive directors to sit on its board of governors. Directors will be expected to bring specific skills and experience to contribute to the strategic direction and management of the organisation.
The Academy's aim is to promote excellence in local alcohol harm reduction through working with and supporting local alcohol coordinators and strategic leads. The Academy is committed to evidence-based practice and is keen to develop work on key issues and challenges facing local alcohol strategy. Alongside its work with local alcohol coordinators (including seminars, networking and briefings), the Academy also provides a range of specialised alcohol training.
The Academy was set up with a 15 month grant from the Alcohol Education Research Council (AERC) and is now generating revenue through its training and development work. The Academy aims to be sustainable through this income and as a social enterprise profits are re-invested into achieving its aims.
See here for the person specification for the position of Academy non-executive director.
Prospective directors are asked to register their interest by the end of April 2010. For an informal discussion please get in touch.

Thanks Chris, I agree. We'd welcome interest from anyone with particualr experience in accessing alcohol treatment and ideally meeting some other criteria in the person spec (esp policy issues/challenges facing alcohol strategy). Please get in touch or forward to anyone relevant. best, James
