ACOSVO runs a number of dedicated network groups for leaders to connect with others in similar positions or with similar interests.
You can find the next network meet-up or event on our events page.

The Ian Findlay Active Leaders Programme
- Do you find your best ideas come to you away from your desk?
- Does being active get your creative juices flowing?
- Do you really have to be sitting round a table to be networking?
As leaders we spend so much time sitting at our desks or in meetings, that sometime we forget that fresh air and movement feeds the mind (and body). In 2017 ACOSVO launched an Active Leadership programme to support third sector leaders to de-stress, network, share & develop all while getting healthier and having fun.

The network for former third sector Chief Officers (and those considering their next move)
ACOSVO has a network for out of post, “retired”, or retiring, third sector Chief Officers (we know many now have portfolio careers and are busier than ever!), and we’d like to invite you to be part of it.
Join us to:
- retain strong links as a leader in Scotland
- have the opportunity for peer support in your new direction, build further connections throughout the sector
- ensure the third sector doesn't lose the wealth of knowledge and experience you have gathered from your time as a third sector leader
This network currently takes the form of regular networking lunches and events, to see when the next event is scheduled please see our events page.
