CivicStar Executive Forum

For Chief Executives and Section 151 Officers requiring ongoing support, the CivicStar Executive Forum provides direct access to insight, peer experience, and evolving guidance as financial pressures develop.

Why Join

Our approach encourages reflection as much as action.
The Forum brings together practical insight, shared experience, and real-world context from across local government.
The aim is to leave you with clearer thinking, stronger judgement, and ideas you can apply immediately.

Ongoing Insight

Access to emerging intelligence across local government, including financial pressures, policy shifts, and areas of growing risk.

Real World Perspective

Anonymised insight into how other authorities are responding to financial challenge, including what is working and what is not.

Decision Support

Clear, practical guidance to support senior officers navigating complex financial and governance decisions.

Evolving Frameworks

Continued access to updated tools, templates, and approaches as financial conditions and expectations change.

Safe Space for Discussion

A professional, discreet space designed for open thinking and honest reflection, away from formal reporting structures and external scrutiny.

Sign up

This space has been created especially to support you through your good and bad times, and your fun and not so fun times. The Forum exists to ensure that those carrying responsibility are not operating in isolation.

If things start to get heavy and you need a sounding board or a helping hand, contact us and we’ll be there!
