Simon Hebditch, CEO of Capacitybuilders, will address the Rural Development Conference, ruralnet|2006, in Nottinghamshire on 11 October.
As opening keynote speaker at this important annual event, Simon will be outlining his vision for how Capacitybuilders will be supporting the rural voluntary sector. In the light of the recent review of the National Hubs, this plenary session is expected to be of particular interest to the media and delegates alike.
ruralnet|uk has been shortlisted for this year's "Enterprising Solutions" awards by the Social Enterprise Coalition. ruralnet's entry outlined the successful first year of the innovative net:gain programme, which uses a social franchising model to build the ICT and strategic planning capacity of Voluntary and Community organisations across England.
The awards, the winners of which will be announced in October, recognise innovation and entreprenuerial spirit, both of which are fundamental to the ethos of ruralnet|uk.
