Kevin Curley joins NCVO policy advice panel

Governance | Tania Mason | 12 Mar 2012

Former Navca chief executive Kevin Curley has joined the NCVO’s advisory council, which helps to inform and shape the umbrella body’s policy work as it is being developed.

The council meets three times a year and at its most recent session members discussed the ‘responsible capitalism’ agenda. Soon after, NCVO’s chief executive, Sir Stuart Etherington, delivered a speech calling for the law to be changed so that credit ratings agencies can only be not-for-profit, and for more charity leaders to sit on PLC boards.

The full council comprises:

Lord Richard Best - Chair of Hanover Housing Association and cross-bench peer
