3. Leading for Success in Difficult Times

7 & 8 June 2012 , BEAM Centre, INVISTA House, Third Street , Maydown

Organisations in the third sector are coming under increasing scrutiny from donors, government and funders. The role of leaders in the sector in maintaining the public's trust and confidence in their organisations, as well as ensuring they retain the sector's integral values of independence, accountability and transparency, has never been more crucial.

In January 2012 Business in the Community conducted a survey to better understand how political and economic changes have affected charities, voluntary organisations, social enterprises and community groups in Northern Ireland . Almost 80% of respondents highlighted quality leadership as being the most important attribute in creating successful high-impact organisations and one third indicated that leadership was a skill that they would like to develop within their organisation.

In response to this, Business in the Community is joining forces with C03 and North West Community Network , to give up to twelve people from the community and voluntary sector the chance to participate in a unique two day Leadership Training Programme. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about leadership in an intensive and exclusive environment with other like-minded sector leaders.

There is no cost for the programme; however, delegates will be required to make a small contribution of £25 to cover the cost of catering for both days.

To book a place on the programme and for further details please contact Diana Muir on 028 9046 0606 for a booking form.

Places are limited to twelve and will be allocated on a first come basis.
