Shaping the Future: RAISE Annual Conference and AGM 2010
The theme for this year’s RAISE annual conference is influencing and leadership. The vision of a Big Society poses both challenges and opportunities for the sector and our conference will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on the past and to focus on how you can shape the future. We hope that by listening to some inspirational leaders from different sectors you will feel empowered to influence the strategies that are emerging as part of our new government’s programme.
To see the programme for the day and to book your place, please click here.
Alternatively you can email conference@raise-networks.org.uk or telephone 01483 885268. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
New Chief Executives' Discussion Forum
RAISE is trialling a discussion forum for the Chief Executives of South East voluntary and community sector organisations. The forum is free and easy to register with. If you want to share your views or discuss issues with peers, you can sign up here
. Feel free to create your own topics or join in with existing discussions. Should you wish, you can opt to be notified about recent posts under threads you subscribed to.
This is a trial and we will see if it is a useful opportunity for members. Some people prefer the ability to dip in to conversations without having messages delivered directly to their inboxes.

HiddenAsset Launched
The highly anticipated Hidden Asset
2009 research has been launched at the RAISE Annual Conference. The key
aim of the document was to gather evidence in order to demonstrate the
vast contribution made by the third sector within multiple communities
across the South East. The Hidden Asset 2009 report is of immense value
to all infrastructure and frontline organisations operating in the
region and is equally as relevant to the activities of regional and
national policy makers and funders as determined by national and
regional policy-makers.
