  7. We don’t… • deliver services • deliver training • get involved in operational aspects of support • assist in bid application forms • facilitate meetings or provide secretariat support

  8. So what do you do?

  9. We Do… • develop strategic projects that will change the environment of the sector for the better • listen to what the sector wants • work to pull the sector together to provide a coherent and reasonable voice • represent that voice locally, sub regionally, regionally and nationally

  10. We Do… • have a lobbying role • make sure we’re in the right place at the right time to get the right resources for the sector in our Borough • raise the profile of Stockton so people sit up and listen • have a mechanism that enables the sector to get involved and shape the work that we do

  23. Consultation of the Council of Interest Model Allison Agius MCIPS Executive Director

  24. The Council of Interest and Catalyst So who does what and how does it fit together?

  25. Catalyst Role Our role within the Voluntary and Community Sector is as a connector, intermediary, 'honest broker' and catalyst. We don't believe that we are (or want to be) truly 'representative' of a wide range of single-focus groups. Our role is more about helping the different groups to work together for the benefit of the town by bringing their different ideas and strengths to bear on a range of strategic issues and opportunities.

  26. The Other Roles? • Executive Director • The Board of Directors and Trustees • The Council of Interest • Members

  27. Accountability Executive Director The Board of Directors and Trustees The Council of Interest Members

  28. The Relationship? How will they all work together?

  29. This is not it!

  30. This is probably not it either!

  31. This can be healthy… from time to time

  32. And maybe even this has it’s place now and again…

  33. But ideally this is what we want

  34. Council of Interest • 5 models in your pack • 15 dedicated seats and 15 open seats • 30 general local third sector seats • Dedicated seats that provide a representative balance between local and non local third sector • A thematic model that reflects the Renaissance Board • Undefined – a combination of the above or something different

  35. What happens next? • 11th November – Notice of Election • 31st December – deadline for full membership (for nominations only – membership can be joined at any time) • 2nd January – Nominations Open • 7th February - Close of Nominations – 12 noon

  36. What happens next? • 8th February – Open Ballot • 15th February – Close Ballot – 6.30pm & Announcement of result • 16th February – agenda and papers for first meeting issued • 26th February – first meeting of Catalyst with the Council of Interest

  37. Any Questions?
