Network
The Second Curve Network consists of like-minded individuals who are willing to connect their leadership and resources to projects that make a difference – it is not an organisation. The role of the network is collaborative and it works with employers and third sector partners. It never operates solely on its own. The Network will use its expertise and experience to connect best practice and also recommend new members.
The Network and its projects are drawn together by a Steering Group chaired by The Second Curve Network’s Vice-Chair, Jeff Hayes, and a small core team of experienced practitioners, who will develop the direction of The Second Curve Network and provide scrutiny where needed.
