NAVCA's BELVI report
(2007) found that respondents "tended to identify the calibre,
character and approach of chief officers as the most important
feature in the emergence, development and success or otherwise of
LIOs".
NAVCA is committed to supporting chief officers and other senior
managers to excel in their leadership and management of LIOs.
Learning and development events
We offer several learning and development events throughout the
year:
New chief officer induction
Three times a year we organise an induction, learning and
networking event for new chief officers, new senior managers, and
senior staff of new NAVCA member organisations. The next event will
take place on 14 June 2010 in Kenilworth.
See the events page for more
information.
Chief Officers Residential Event (CORE)
CORE brings senior leaders of LIOs to gether to network, share
ideas and experiences and to think about new ways of being
effective in their roles. CORE focuses on personal and professional
development and issues affecting LIOs.
Our next CORE is being held
14-16 June 2010 in Kenilworth, near Warwick.
Shining on a Shoestring
Our new networking and development event, designed and priced with
the needs of smaller LIOs in mind, and aimed at chief officers,
senior managers and trustees. Shining on a Shoestring was held on 3
February 2010 in Reading.
E-networking
NAVCA hosts an active e-network for chief officers of LIOs, called
COIN (Chief Officers' Information Network). Visit our
networks
page to find out more and to join COIN.
navcaboodle is our
growing professional and social networking website for third sector
colleagues to discuss and share experiences. Navcaboodle has a
group for
chief
officers only, similar to COIN, as well as many other
discussion groups in various topics relevant to LIOs.
Other support
Chief officers should receive regular supervision and support from
their chairs or other trustees. If you would like NAVCA to write to
your chair explaining the importance of regular supervision and
support for chief officers please send a message to
Kevin Curley.
The National Support Service workstream on Leadership and
Governance also offers opportunities and support to LIO leaders.

Improving Support website to find out more.
