A Question of Balance

Two charity chairpersons converse at an Association of Chairs event. One gestures while the other listens, holding papers.

The chair – CEO relationship is vital. Your working relationship has an impact on the board and your wider organisation – you want it to be effective, positive, and productive. So how do you build the best partnership possible?

Our free guide A Question of Balance explores this crucial relationship from the chair’s perspective. Drawing on research by us, ACEVO, and nfpResearch in 2026, packed with insights from chairs and CEOs, and covering all aspects of your partnership, this guide is a must have for chairs who work with CEOs, and is a great read for your CEO as well!

The guide explores ten areas for your working partnership where you and your CEO can reflect on your approach and find the best balance. It also covers the factors that impact your relationship, and what to do when things go wrong.
