Executive participation in events

Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Provost event participation

In support of the University's reputation both internally and externally, the participation of our Executive team – including the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Provost – is both welcomed and encouraged for large scale or significant event activity across the campus.

The attendance of our Executive team at such events is co-ordinated through a central process to ensure that the right resources are allocated to meet the unique needs of each event and to ensure active and valuable involvement.

If you would like the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor or Provost to participate in an upcoming event, please complete the online request form.

The Office of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Provost will be in touch to confirm availability and outline the process. Support can be provided as necessary with the following items:

• Confirming availability;
• Preparing and sending invitations;
• Finalising event briefs;
• Finalising video scripts; and
• Finalising forewords for publications.

Executive Briefings

Please note, there is a specific briefing process required for Executive involvement in event activity, particularly those requiring speaking roles.

You can download a copy of the briefing document in the related document templates on the right hand side of this page. 

Whilst advice and final briefings will be managed by the Executive Communications Advisor, it is the responsibility of the event organisers to provide a detailed briefing document including; event information, recommended speaking notes and an available contact for questions.

If this information has not been provided at least 10 days prior to the event, the Executive participating may be withdrawn from the event. This is essential to ensure that whenever our Executives appear, they are well prepared and are able to present in the professional manner expected at this level.
