As the professional society for local authority chief executives and senior managers in Wales, we represent the interests and concerns of our members’ and share their overriding interest in ensuring efficient and effective public services and drive for better outcomes for citizens and communities.
SOLACE Wales has a wide remit and range of activity and as such aims to continue to play an important role as one of the key organisations in the local government family. Over the next three years we will work towards becoming an even more active organisation, by expanding our capacity and the scope of our engagement with senior public service professionals. We will ensure that we maintain a strong sense of focus in all that we do, in order to tackle the complex and substantial issues we face together with our partners. We will continue to provide a professional voice for the most senior managers in local government and ensure this voice is available to and heard by key decision makers at the highest levels of public services in Wales.
SOLACE Wales’ vision is to be an organisation that makes a significant constructive contribution to public policy and engages effectively with the national bodies shaping Wales’ future. We will ensure that we influence the future shape and direction of public services in the context of significant financial constraints and an increasingly distinctive Welsh agenda. We will articulate what local government is capable of being and achieving and seek to promote its leadership role amongst partners delivering services locally and nationally. We aim to support and facilitate the sharing of information, learning and ideas and to actively promote innovative approaches and solutions that will help achieve better more responsive and efficient services. We are committed to working together with other public, private and voluntary sector organisations to support excellent leadership and management in public services.
SOLACE Wales aims to be a vibrant and dynamic professional society that provides valuable networking, development and representation for senior professionals. We will increase and expand the potential for members to take advantage of these opportunities and enhance the profile of senior professionals working in local government. |
