PCF membership  

The Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF) is a unique membership network, available exclusively to members of public body boards. PCF seeks to strength UK public services, by providing peer support, insight, inspiration and education public body chairs and non-executive directors.  

Our seminars, peer networks, masterclasses and research help PCF members gain the insider’s perspective on the key issues of the day, providing unique opportunities to meet with leading public servants across Westminster and Whitehall.  

This year, the PCF 2025-26 member programme focusses on ‘The state as an agent of change: changing lives whilst changing from within’.

2026/2027 subscription offer  

Looking ahead to next year, PCF and our sister organisation, the Association of Chief Executives (ACE) have merged our operations following a successful three-year period offering joint membership. 

As a result of this merger, PCF and ACE are now offering a single organisational subscription which will cover CEOs, Chairs, ExCo, and NEDs. This single subscription is available at a rate of £2,000 per organisation and has opened up the number of roles that can participate in PCF and ACE member conversations. 

Who can join? 

PCF membership is available to chairs and non-executives of public bodies; whether Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPB) or Executives Agencies, ranging in size, and performing a diverse of roles from regulation to operational delivery across public service.
