CO3 Chief Officers Third Sector is delighted to announce the launch of our series "Leadership is Political".  Our intention is to invite key individuals from each of the political parties to meet with a small group of CEOs from the third sector.  The series kicks off with a lunch meeting in August with Roy Beggs, Ulster Unionist and MLA for East Antrim and is followed by a lunch meeting in September with Tim Attwood, SDLP councillor for Upper Falls on Belfast City Council.  Please below for further information.

CO3 will also be continuing the series "Leading in Difficult times" with 3 further events planned for  Sept- Oct.  These events are being generated as a direct result of members' requests in relation to support on issues of Redundancy, Reserves Policies and Cost Reduction techniques and we plan to bring you further detail and information on these events in the near future.
