Leadership in the independent sector recognised
19/02/10
The first CO3 Leadership Awards ceremony was held during the CO3 (Chief Officers) conference on leadership in the third/voluntary/not for profit sector in Northern Ireland.
"I'm delighted and honoured to have been presented with the Leading on Sustainability award: the level of leadership and achievement evident in the Awards was extremely high. This recognition has good timing, with all the development work that we are embarked on: particularly plans to create a new Carnival Centre of Excellence in Belfast."
David Boyd, Director of the Beat arts company in Belfast
The CO3 Award citation:
David Boyd is Director of The Beat Initiative in Belfast. As founder Director of the organisation, he has always focused on long-term sustainability. Starting from a base of zero in 1993, initial funding was allocated to building facilities, infrastructure, reputation and bank reserves. David passionately believes in the value of creativity and that participation in life through carnival opens opportunities in education, job creation, self esteem, skills training and cross community and cross border communication. David founded and has driven The Beat to be one of Belfast City’s flagship arts companies and NI’s carnival arts company.
