Heading home from Birmingham after the most energising, inspiring, ‘big thinking’ day with our board and SMT for the next step in developing our new strategy. I started the day feeling gratitude for the board and senior team I get to work with, and I’m finishing the day feeling as much if not more gratitude. LOTS to do before it becomes a coherent, cohesive strategy for our next chapter but so much brilliant, insightful and thoughtful material to work with. Thank you Frances Brown for facilitating, Diana Collier for organising everything to go so smoothly, and Rosie Ferguson Andrew Copson Rashid Iqbal Sarah Atkinson Neil Heslop OBE Kye Lockwood, FRSA Jools Townsend Anne Wallis, OBE Roberta Fusco Pete Johnson Yetunde Ogundele and Jonathan Ellis FRSA for giving me some really exciting (and appropriately challenging!) stuff to think about. My brain is fizzing! 🤣
Thanks all for a brilliant day - love being an ACEVO trustee and part of such a smart, committed team
Thank you all for a creative and insightful day, I look forward to ACEVO’s growing role and impact within the charity community.
OMG - So many great folks in #Birmingham and I wasn’t in Brum !!! Hope you had a productive and enjoyable day.
Fizzing for a better future. Yay 😁
