CommUNIty Discovery Series 3: A Day in the Life of BCP Council’s Chief Executive

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF BCP COUNCIL’S CHIEF EXECUTIVE

What is it really like to lead one of the country’s largest unitary councils?
Join us for a fascinating evening with Aidan Dunn, Chief Executive of BCP Council, as he takes us behind the scenes and shares an insight into a typical day in his role.

From overseeing vital public services and managing major challenges to working with councillors, communities and partner organisations, Aidan will explain what it takes to lead a council serving more than 400,000 residents.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about how BCP Council operates and the responsibilities of its most senior officer. Please note that this is not a political meeting. The Q&A session will be kept respectful and focused on Aidan’s role, the work of the council and how the organisation operates.
