We’re changing things around at @demsoc. I’m stepping down as Director General in October to focus on my role as President. A new DG will run the organisation, while I focus on strategy, networks and our governance as chair of our Council.
After 12 years of running the organisation day to day, it’s definitely time for a change – and absolutely no one will be surprised to hear that the “ideas bit” is closer to my heart than Excel spreadsheets.
We’ll shortly be starting an open recruitment for the new DG so if you have what it takes to help us grow and mature to the next level, get polishing your CV.
Between now and October we’ll be reshuffling a bit to line us up behind our theory of change (demsoc.org/theory-of-chan…) and ensure that the new DG has a strong organisation to take on.
Finally, though I will still be very much around after October, it’s a moment to thank the whole Demsoc team for helping us get to a place where we can make this first big transition. And <3 to @dzyrl for bearing with my crazy dream(s) for the last 12 years.
