CEF would like to invite members to the 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Lecture. As well as discussing the routine business of the AGM, we are pleased to announce that former Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Government, Sir John Elvidge, will share his experiences of transformational change in Scotland, 'delivering outcomes based public services' and 'new contracts between the citizen and the public sector'.
Sir John's experience will be instrumental in guiding the policy development in the lead up to the next Programme for Government (2016), most notably in addressing shared outcomes models and evaluating the effectiveness of the national performance framework.
The event will also consider the adoption of the Chief Executives' Forum Annual Report and Accounts 2013-2014.
Guest speaker Sir John Elvidge KCB
Sir John Elvidge was Permanent Secretary of the Scottish Government from 2003 to 2010.
