The Chartered Association of Business Schools is calling for new members to join the Professional Managers' Committee. This is a great opportunity to help shape the direction of the Chartered ABS's work as relates to supporting business school professional services, and contribute to the business school professional management community at large.

The Professional Managers' Committee consists of leading managers in business schools. Its mission statement is ‘to encourage and support the high performance of professional services within business schools through a process of development and knowledge transfer.’ The committee seeks to support professional development by acting as a conduit for innovation and good practice, and it plays an integral role in the Professional Managers' Annual Conference (PMAC). Its activities aim to support professional management colleagues at all levels and stages in their careers.

Membership of this committee will be particularly relevant for:

  • Heads of professional management or professional services in business schools;
  • Directors of administration and operations;
  • School or faculty business managers;
  • Senior, experienced professional services staff.

The objectives, purpose, current key projects and membership criteria of the Professional Managers' Committee are specified here.
