I am delighted that you are considering applying for a Non-Executive Board member position on one of the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs).

This year we will be advertising two Non-Executive business positions for the Board of South East England Development Agency from 7th February 2010.  We are also hoping to advertise further Non-Executive Board vacancies across the remaining seven Regional Development Agencies later in the year.

These are exciting Non-Executive opportunities for people who are looking to play a leading role in helping to steer regional development through changing and challenging times.

If you have what it takes to make an impact as an RDA Board member, can demonstrate a substantial track record of successful achievement gained in the field of the advertised position you are considering, and in addition are committed to, and enthusiastic about the regeneration of your region, then we would very much like to hear from you.

The Department seeks to achieve diversity on the boards of its public bodies and is committed to providing equal opportunities for all.
