PtD chair and deputy chair

Call for applications

People that Deliver is saying goodbye to two of its stars: chair Lloyd Matowe and deputy chair Jenny Froome. After four and two years in their roles, respectively, the time has come for renewal, and PtD is now receiving applications for the positions of chair and deputy chair.

As well as guiding PtD’s activities and overseeing long-term objectives, the chair and deputy chair are figureheads responsible for representing the coalition and for advocating its key messages.

Any individual (internal or external to PtD) can apply using this form.

Applications will close on 22 November and the candidates will be presented to the PtD coalition during the week of 28 November.

It provides a structure to prioritise interventions in human resources for supply chain management, an effective monitoring and evaluation process to measure progress against indicators for the selected interventions and the foundation for developing a HR4SCM strategy.
