National #TrustLeaders Symposium 2023
#TrustLeaders as change agents
Shaping solutions together as we lead through challenging times
Our second annual National #TrustLeaders Symposium will take place on 15th June 2023 and is open to all those who are active individual members of Forum Strategy’s CEO, COO and Education Executive members on that date.
Following last year’s hugely successful and extremely well-attended event with Sir Michael Barber, this year’s event will be led by James Plunkett, author of End State: 9 ways society is broken and how we can fix it, and a former adviser to Gordon Brown. James is also an Executive Director of Citizens Advice and is working at the heart of many of the major challenges currently facing society. The day will once again be supported by Sir Steve Lancashire and facilitated by Maggie Farrar
