Third Sector Leadership Centre Newsletter

The Third Sector Leadership Centre newsletter is sent out on a regular basis to provide information: updates and news from the Third Sector Leadership Centre.
Investing in the Future
In this newsletter we highlight the resources available to support leaders on their development journey. We also want to highlight the developments taking place at the Leadership Centre:
Capacity Builders continues to play an important role in supporting the development of the Centre and are working with us to look at what the future will hold.
As part of my own development, I will be undertaking a secondment with the Welsh Assembly Government to support the development of a community asset transfer programme in Wales.
I will act as in an Ambassadorial role for the Centre to help ensure access to resources for the development of third sector leaders.
We hope that you will look at the resources and initiatives that we continue to support and develop - Learning to Lead, the Leadership Development Directory, the Leadership Labyrinth, Third Sector Performer and Leadership Ambassadors and use these as a signpost as you continue on your professional development journey.
