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.

Annual subscription to the Fundraising Leadership Forum, which will begin in September
2006, is £350 + VAT.
