Joint Working and Community Leadership Conference
Working together to improve services
Sussex Improvment Partnership
5 September 2008, Holiday Inn, Brighton
You are invited to attend a conference which has been organised by Members
for all Members across Sussex. This conference will challenge how we can
provide high quality, value for money services that meet demand and keep
costs down through joint working and community leadership. It will also offer
you an opportunity to network with Members from all authorities across Sussex.
This conference has been sponsored by The Sussex Improvement Partnership and is free to all delegates. The event is being chaired by Councillor Carl Maynard, Chairman of Sussex Improvement Partnership; and we are pleased to confirm Stephen Taylor (Chief Executive, Leadership Centre) and Martin Richards (Chief Constable, Sussex Police) as guest speakers.
There are two workshops included in the programme, facilitated by Members, and whilst we will try to accommodate your first choice, you will have the opportunity to discuss both issues and share experiences during the morning:
Joint Working
- Does it work?
- What are the real benefits?
- Is it an opportunity or a threat?
- Is your authority leading the way?
Community Leadership
- Can you lead your community?
- Do you need to change the way you work?
- Does your authority support you to become a community leader?
Attached is the programme which provides further details of the event, and a booking form which we need back by 22 August - you do need to send this back to book your place if you previously expressed an interest to attend. You are welcome to complete it electronically and email it back or print it and return it to me in the post.
Contact details are ula.ostaniewicz@Brighton-Hove.gov.uk.
