Future Leaders Network
Applications have now closed for this year's Future Leaders Programme.
Commencing in July 2024, this programme offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights and learn through the lived experience of invited industry leaders. Discover the sources of their inspiration, the people who influenced them, the key qualities they sought and the authentic path they took in developing their leadership styles. Each session will be interactive, encouraging lively discussions and the sharing of skills and experiences.
You can look forward to a series of in-person or online sessions throughout the year (a maximum of 4 in total). In return, you’ll be invited to write a guest blog about your experience of being part of the group and the learning and insights you have gathered during the course of the programme.
Linsey Butler, Community Safety Officer at Anchor and 2023/24 Future Leaders Participant, said:
"It has been a privilege being part of the Future Leaders programme which I have found to be an incredibly uplifting experience. The opportunity to learn from inspiring leaders and my fellow participants has been a huge catalyst for my personal development as I consider my future career. I would recommend anyone with an interest in housing and leadership to take this opportunity to learn more about themselves."
The closing date for applications was Friday, 3 May 2024.
