Podcasts about Chairperson

Interviewing a Chairperson is one of the most important steps in building a successful acquisition platform. Yet many mentees approach these conversations incorrectly. In this episode I discuss several mistakes I recently observed among acquisition mentees when interviewing potential Chairperson candidates. I explain why long interviews, premature offers, and lack of preparation can weaken your position and how to approach the process with clarity and confidence. I also discuss what prospects are typically looking for in these conversations and the most important qualification a Chairperson should have.

The Clare branch of the Irish Farmers Association has slammed the Agriculture Minister who they claim has “completely and utterly ignored” their concerns throughout the Bord Bia controversy. The farming representative organisation has stood down its protest at Bord Bia headquarters following an agreement that a governance review into the matters raised during the dispute will take place. Five IFA members occupied the lobby of Bord Bia's Dublin offices for 28 days while a rolling 24-hour protest took place outside the building for 36 following the revalation that Larry Murrin's company used Brazilian beef in its produce. Feakle-based Chairperson of the IFA in Clare, Stephen Walsh, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that farmers fear for their livelihoods if the use of South American meat becomes the norm here.

If you have been a reader of MinistryWatch over the years, you probably know about GRACE. GRACE is an acronym that stands for Godly Response to Abuse in Christian Environments. GRACE is also a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing, addressing, and responding to abuse within Christian institutions. Founded to support survivors and promote accountability, GRACE provides independent investigations, consulting, training, and educational resources for churches, schools, ministries, and nonprofit organizations. Its work emphasizes trauma-informed care, best practices for safeguarding, and ethical leadership. By combining professional expertise with a survivor-centered approach, GRACE seeks to help Christian organizations confront abuse honestly, care well for victims, and create safer environments that reflect integrity, transparency, and respect for human dignity. We have used GRACE resources often in our work here at MinistryWatch. Now, GRACE has a new president. The former president, Pete Singer, who has been a guest of this program, died last May, and after a nationwide search, the group named a new president, Laura Thien, who is my guest today. Laura Thien brings more than eighteen years of service to survivors of child abuse, sexual assault, and other trauma—experience that spans work in adoptions, clinical practice, and victim advocacy, and non-profit Board leadership. For many years, she provided support and treatment for survivors of sexual trauma at Julie Valentine Center, a community-based sexual trauma recovery center and CAC (Child Advocacy Center) in Greenville, SC. Laura has a distinguished history of non-profit board leadership, having served as Chairperson for the board of directors for GRACE, Julie Valentine Center, and the Greenville County Sheriff's Office Citizens' Advisory Board. She has also served on the board of directors of the South Carolina Network of Child Advocacy Centers. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh.

New Yorker Jill Chalsty tried retiring in both South Carolina and Florida—without success. By the end of 2024, she was still recovering from a battle with cancer and grieving the loss of her husband. Looking for a fresh start, Jill decided to explore potential retirement destinations by embarking on an around-the-world cruise aboard Cunard's Queen Anne. The ship departed from Brooklyn in January 2025, visiting 26 ports across six continents over four months. After a long but rewarding journey, Jill came to an unexpected conclusion: the best place for her to retire was right where she had been all along—Manhattan.
