ACEVO

Your first year as CEO is a milestone but it’s only the beginning. Designed for CEOs within their first three years, this free webinar offers practical insight, peer learning, and a broader perspective on leading within civil society.

Free webinar on Nov 24 at 12pm - Charity CEOs are often under intense scrutiny, with limited support. It’s time to have an honest conversation about leadership, pay, and equity. Join ACEVO chief exec Jane Ide, Valerie McConville, CEO, CO3 and Lucinda Godfrey, CEO, ACOSVO, to explore: - the role of chairs and trustees and what needs to change for genuine accountability and equity in leadership - the latest findings of our annual Pay and Equalities Survey - why so many charity leaders still go without annual appraisals or fair processes for discussing pay - the persistent gender pay gap and why women are still more likely to lead smaller, lower-paid organisations - the systemic barriers to leadership for women and people from underrepresented backgrounds. This webinar will be recorded and sent to all those who book on – even if you can’t attend live, booking your place will ensure you receive the recording.

Join our free webinar on Nov 13 at 11am and learn from those who’ve successfully made the leap to CEO. Discover what it takes to lead with confidence, handle the challenges, and thrive in your first chief exec role.

Today we’re launching ACEVO Connect: a new membership for leaders of charities with an annual income under £100,000, for £50 a year. Leading a small organisation can mean doing a bit of everything, often with limited resources and without a big team around. But you shouldn’t have to navigate leadership without access to peers, practical support and opportunities to develop. ACEVO Connect gives you access to our online community and member directory, free member-only resources and events, plus discounted rates on workshops, programmes and our flagship event. It’s also open to retired CEOs and people between CEO roles. If that sounds useful to you, find out more and join us. And if you know a small charity leader who could benefit, please share this with them. https://lnkd.in/dD8kEk8A
