A year-long programme for some of the brightest leadership talents is being hailed as “the most important development in communal leadership for 20 years”.
Being run through Lead, a division of the JLC, Gamechangers will train 24 people in their 30s and 40s with senior leadership potential.
Nominations can be made through communal organisations but the organisers are also looking to attract future stars with no previous communal involvement.
It is being chaired by Miles Webber, a General Electric executive and former chair of the UJIA allocations committee, who explained: “We’re casting the net as wide as we can and we are encouraging organisations [to nominate].” It was important to get them on board as they would benefit from the leadership expertise accumulated by the graduates.
