Inclusive Boards are delighted to be supporting Traverse in their search for a new Chair.

Traverse believe that an inclusive society that works for everyone must be based on good evidence, and the voices of citizens. Their work spans research, engagement, consultation and evaluation, but is underpinned by a focus on:

• Rigour: deliver high quality evidence based on rigorous methods.
• Inclusive practice: in order to involve the widest range of voices in our work we are continually developing our practice to reflect the diversity of society.
• Lived experience:  believe that the people affected by a decision should have a role in it that goes beyond being informed.
• Capacity building: as an employee owned business we know the value of collaboration, and help clients to develop the skills and capability to make good decisions.

Traverse are looking for a new Chair of the Board who understands their social purpose and the challenges and opportunities they are working through now and in the future.

We’re particularly interested to hear from candidates who have skills and extensive experience in leading successful commercial growth, including in new or emerging markets, who are able to excite others by what is possible.
