Welcome to Purposely SHORT, a weekly episode, featuring one of our friends or past guests and their expertise on a certain topic.
This weeks episode features Sarah Vibert CEO of
National Council of Volunteer Organisations (NCVO)), a charity that has been supporting thousands of voluntary and community sector charities and non-profits in England for over 100 years.
Episode Highlights
Challenges and secrets to running a successful network or representative organisation:
You are not going to achieve full consensus across your network so therefore getting agreement on all issues and topics should not be the focus
Working hard to 'serve a broad church' of members as effectively as you can
Don't be bland and make sure your organisation stands for something and for important issues
'Not a regulator, not a think tank but embedded in our members world'
We are looking to the future at the same time helping charities to step up the existential challenges we / they face
Importance of taking your members on a journey rather than being instructive
Sarah joined NCVO in January 2020 as director of membership and engagement and was later appointed as Chief Executive in early 2022.
