The purpose of the forum is to offer support for those Chief Officers who have taken on a new leadership role. It is open to those who have been in post for up to four years. We appreciate that being a Chief Officer can be a hugely rewarding role however, it can at times feel lonely and with the external challenges and uncertainty the wider sector is exposed to, we thought this forum would be a great way to support those new-to-post.

Chaired by Phil Alexander, CEO Cancer Fund for Children and held every quarter with subjects tailored to you as a New to Post CEO.

The sessions below are what we looked at previously.
