About ACE
Association of Chief Executives (ACE) seeks to strengthen UK public services. We provide a space for peer networking and learning exchange through a programme of events and research tailored to public body leaders. Membership gives access to exclusive opportunities to meet with ministers, members of parliament, senior civil servants and subject matter experts. We work closely with our sister organisation, the Public Chairs’ Forum (PCF). Based at the Institute for Government in London, ACE and PCF engage directly into the heart of government, across Westminster and Whitehall.
