Role of the Executive Education Committee

The committee represents and engages with Chartered ABS members to:

• Discuss business school management issues, challenges and opportunities relating to executive education and to advise the Council on policy in relation to these; 

• Demonstrate and champion the work of executive education and how it creates value within the UK business school community and to external audiences including clients, business, government and the wider university community; 

• Promote excellence within executive education; 

• Explore and seek to demonstrate the socio-economic impact of executive education; 

• Develop leaders in executive education; and 

• Maintain a watching brief on the role of executive education in business school accreditation. 

Areas of Focus

1. To continue to deliver executive education symposia for executive education staff in UK business schools, with two symposium per year on topics to be decided by the committee in full consultation with the Executive Education community. 

2. To review, evaluate and refresh our professional development programme in executive education. 

3. To undertake work and produce a report on the Future Trends in Executive Education. 

Diversity and Inclusion

The Chartered ABS is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion within our organisation and thus in the membership of our committees, where necessary encouraging applications from under-represented groups. Applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals are particularly encouraged.

The composition of our committees should, where possible, reflect the diversity of the Chartered ABS membership of business schools. For example, consideration will be given to a school’s geographic location, mission group affiliation, and levels of representation across our committees. Each committee will normally include only one representative from a particular business school.
