Offer of reduced subscription for new members
The Association of Chief Executives is offering organisations that have not been a member of ACE in the past three years discounted membership, from £650 down to £500. Through a programme of unique and carefully tailored seminars and events, ACE facilitates an environment for members to identify best practice and work together to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of public services, by drawing on the perspectives of its members, ACE is able to provide impartial information, expert advice and guidance to Government on the role of arm’s-length bodies in the delivery and reform of public services. Membership includes the opportunity for both the Chief Executive and up to six of their direct reports to attend events and participate in our work throughout the year.
PERSONAL SUPPORT
Most Chief Executives and senior leaders face many of the same leadership challenges and business opportunities but it is often difficult to find chances to discuss them. ACE offers opportunities for networking which helps to stimulate discussion leading to possible solutions and support. To help members make best use of time, we hold a variety of meetings designed to fit into the working day, including lunchtime discussions, afternoon seminars, and networking events. We are establishing Action Learning Sets for our Chief Executives, to provide ongoing peer support.
NETWORKING
Our conferences and seminars are designed to bring together specialist input and the sharing of our experiences. Special interests currently being focused on are: commercialisation, public body reform, digital by default, and pay and reward structures. We respond to the needs of members and facilitate discussion on topics of interest. Occasionally, we host joint events with our sister organisation, the Public Chairs’ Forum, or with the Institute for Government, as well as representatives from Cabinet Office, who are keen to learn lessons from the experience of our members.
LEADERSHIP
The pace of change means communication often lags behind or is inconsistent. We aim to share key developments with members through meetings and regular member briefings, keeping you in touch with developments and offering opportunities to contribute to key debates, as well as sharing the material from events we hold, so that those unable to attend can benefit. ACE is always seeking to improve support for its members, and this website includes a private area for members where documents can be shared and discussed and the opportunities for online networking can be supported.
THE ACE MEMBERSHIP MODEL
As a Chief Executive or Senior Manager within an arm’s-length body or related organization, you are dealing with a whole plethora of day to day issues. This is over and above the ongoing requests from central government departments for information, analysis and research. Joining the ACE network will provide you with a support and information sharing network, of those undertaking very similar roles. ACE welcomes the Chief Executives and their senior executive direct reports of all public sector arm’s-length bodies. This means that both you and your direct reports can be part of the ACE community providing development
