Skills - Third Sector is the
first Champion organisation for
Leadership 20:20 Commission
Dear Simon,
We are delighted to be the first
Champion organisation to deliver
the Leadership 20:20
Commission’s vision on ways to
engage future civil society
leaders.
The Leadership 20:20 Commission,
which is hosted by the National
Council for Voluntary
Organisations (NCVO), has
launched five challenging
recommendations on what needs to
be done to engage a new
generation of civil society
leaders. Each recommendation
will be delivered by a Champion
organisation, and we have been
chosen to deliver the
‘development framework’.
The development framework will
help future leaders develop
their skills through a rich mix
of opportunities that enhance
and consolidate their practice.
It will include both formal
training recommendations and
advice on informal development
opportunities such as pairing
established leaders with
emerging leaders, mentoring and
coaching, secondments, and
organisations working together
on staff development programmes.
At today’s launch at a Civil
Society APPG reception in the
House of Commons,
the Commission’s
President,
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson,
said:
“I am very pleased to welcome
Skills - Third Sector as a
Champion for our recommendation
on a sector-wide development
framework. I look forward to
working with them, and the rest
of our Champions, in
implementing these
recommendations.”
Keith Mogford, our chief
executive said:
“I’m delighted that Skills -
Third Sector has been invited to
act as the Champion for this
welcome and exciting
initiative. There is an
emerging consensus that more can
and should be done to support
the development and progression
of potential leaders in the
sector. We’ll want to work
closely with all and any
interested parties in 2012 to
construct a development
framework that is bespoke to the
sector, incorporating both
formal and informal development
activity.”
