Leadership services - Leadership 20:20

What is Leadership 20:20?

We have launched a Commission on the future leadership of civil society, to give emerging leaders a chance to have their voices heard and discuss some of the major issues affecting both our sector, and our world. As well as contributing to this key agenda, our hope is that Leadership 20:20 develops as a network for civil society’s emerging leaders to share ideas, share information and learn from each other.

What’s the story so far?

For the last 18 months, NCVO have been developing the Leadership 20:20 network through a ‘core group’. This group has developed the idea of the Commission and worked together on its core themes. We are now launching a search for a new group of 20 Commissioners who will steer the process, debates and findings of the Commission.

NCVO Launches Search for Emerging Leaders

On 3 February NCVO launched Leadership 20:20. We’re looking to find the 20 most inspiring emerging leaders of civil society. Our 20 commissioners might already be high-fliers working in large charities, but equally they might be the ‘hidden’ leaders, running smaller organisations or shaping their communities.

Who do YOU see as the people who can lead our organisations and our communities in the year 2020?

Networking, debate, influence… and curry… who can resist?

The commission’s hearings will not be the standard, stuffy affairs you might have heard about or even been used to attending. We will be holding 9 hearings – 1 per region - through ‘Curry Club’ meetings held in local curryhouses. Participants will present their views over a curry, and findings will be reported back to the commissioners through Youtube, rather than through formally written submissions.

Here's how to get involved:

Become a Commissioner

We’re looking to find the 20 most inspiring emerging leaders of civil society. Applications close on 10th March at 12pm. There is more information in the Recruitment Pack below.
