Governance research in the Third Sector in ScotlandSeptember 16, 2008 The Association of Chief Officers of Scottish Voluntary Organisations (ACOSVO) supported by The Scottish Government, OSCR and Supporting Voluntary Action/SCVO are working in partnership to carry out governance research with Cranfield University. The collaborative research has a specific focus on the Scottish Third Sector and explores the characteristics of Board members, Chairs and Chief Officers of organisations in the sector. The research will attempt to assess any relationships between the characteristics of the Board and the effectiveness of the organisation. The aims of the research are to: * provide insights into governance and leadership within the Third Sector in Scotland * link to the cross-sectoral findings from Cranfield University’s previous research across all public services. It will also help to identify good leadership and governance practices. You can complete the survey online here. The survey will remain open until 28 September 2008. Results of the research will be published in early 2009. You can also request a hard copy by emailing ACOSVO at policy@acosvo.org.uk or phoning 0131 243 2755.
