Nick Warren

As a member of the Trustee Board since 2005, Nick has supported NAVCA's work to raise the profile of local infrastructure with central and local government at the same time as helping to build capacity and raise standards within member organisations. Both of these are critical issues, as Nick believes that flying the flag for LIOs must be of critical importance to all of us at this time of competing demands for resources and the attention of policy-makers.

Although NAVCA has a strong and effective management team supported by able staff, Nick believes the experience of those working in the local front line does much to add value and focus to its work and welcomes the opportunity of continuing for a second term.

In his other life, Nick is the Chief Executive of Voluntary Action Sheffield. He is a permanent member of his local LSP Board and an active member of a number of sub-regional and regional third sector partnerships and task groups. Nick is a great believer in the value of collaborative working and thinks that we must learn to work together more effectively if we are to remain relevant.
