Members' Day is an opportunity to network with other third sector leaders, attend workshops and table discussions, hear inspirational leadership stories and take a bit of time back for you, all in a confidential peer-to-peer space.

At ACOSVO we understand that being a Chief Officer or senior leader, while rewarding, can be an isolating experience. We listen when you tell us the importance of networking and having the space to share and discuss current issues with others who understand.

Members Day & Networking Drinks Reception 2020

Keynote: Jemma Neville, Director, Voluntary Arts Scotland

Stepping out to go in

- Reflections on a sabbatical

In this keynote talk, Jemma Neville, Director of Voluntary Arts Scotland, will give a personal account of the leadership challenges and opportunities of taking a career break. In 2017 – 2018, Jemma took 9 months off from Voluntary Arts to research and write a book, Constitution Street. At the ACOSVO Members’ Day, she will share reflections on creative risk-taking and how best to negotiate time away that benefits the organisation, colleagues and self-development.
