Guide Dogs chairmanship up for grabs again
Tags: Chairs | Human resources
Rodney Buse
Chairman (designate), Guide Dogs from 2012
Rodney Buse is to become chairman of Guide Dogs in 2012 when current chair Tony Aston steps down. Buse is also a governance consultant and until March 2011 was chair of the Charity Trustees Network before it merged with the Small Charities Coalition.
He has been vice-chair of NCVO and chairman of the National Advisory Council for Careers and Educational Guidance. He chaired the Commission into the Future of Self-Regulation of Charity Fundraising, and the Buse Report that emerged from that Commission paved the way for the establishment of the Fundraising Standards Board.
Buse has previously been a chair of ActionAid and Childhope and a trustee of CAF. He was also a Charity Awards judge for several years.

Guide Dogs has appointed its deputy chairman Amos Miller as interim chair following Tony Aston’s resignation from the post due to ill health. Rodney Buse has also stepped down as chair designate.
Rodney Buse has been announced as the next Guide Dogs chairman, taking up the position next year upon the exit of current chair Tony Aston.
Charities must be clear about what they want their trustees to do, says Rodney Buse, while prospective trustees need some clear direction to vacancies.
Charity Trustee Networks chair Rodney Buse has warned the Charity Commission to remember that the public spending cuts will affect other providers of advice and guidance to small charities too, when it decides which services to chop.
Charity Trustee Networks and the Nationwide Foundation are joining forces to provide governance support to eight charities which have received grants of around £300,000 from the Nationwide Foundation through its Investor Programme.
Rodney Buse, author of the report that paved the way for the establishment of the Fundraising Standards Board, has come out firmly against any form of sector self-regulation for the Code of Good Governance.
There is little shared understanding of the role of president. It is one of the least defined roles in all types of organisations whether charity, professional organisation or membership body.
The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act passed almost without notice; but it could have a significant impact on charities.
