TY - JOUR AB - The author outlines those strengths of the third sector that will enable it to play a prominent role in not only leading the country towards economic recovery, but also stimulating the development of a more democratic society. He stresses the need for the sector as a whole, and particularly the CEOs, to embrace the challenge created by the economic slump, stressing that for this ‘challenge’ to be transformed into an opportunity, the sector must focus on areas of particular importance, such as continual professional development (CPD), extending global links and encouraging sector exchange.
