Charity consultant and researcher Frances Hurst has launched a Fundraising Leadership Forum to provide Fundraising Directors and Senior Managers with “a supportive environment to develop their leadership skills”.
The Forum will meet five times a year for half a day in London and there will be a maximum of 12 participants. Each meeting will include a featured topic chosen by the group and introduced by Frances. Suggested topics include managing talent, Leading with authenticity, developing a great culture, dealing with ‘difficult’ people, and staff satisfaction and retention.
This will be followed by discussion and the sharing of best practice ideas. At each meeting there will also be an open forum for participants to discuss any current management issues.
