Nova AGM 23-24: Looking Back, Moving Forward

We’re inviting you to join us at our Annual General Meeting (AGM). This year, our focus is on looking back and moving forward:

• Celebrate what we’ve accomplished over the past year with reflections from Nova’s Chair and CEO
• Learn about developments of Wakefield District’s VCSE Collaborative, what they’re working on next, and what this means for you
• Dig into “what’s wrong with charity” with our keynote speaker Penny Wilson, previous Chief Executive of Getting on Board, and discuss what we can do to make a better future for the VCSE sector
• Use those insights to connect with Nova Members and network with partners

What's planned?

• ‍From 9am to 9.15am: Welcome time! Say hello to friendly faces, get a pastry and find yourself a seat. Then we'll be welcoming one of our Nova Members for a special performance.‍
