The next Essex Assembly is in full swing today, Tuesday 6 March, and more than 100 of the county’s leaders have come together to celebrate the power of systems leadership in delivering the Essex Vision.

The Essex Assembly has welcomed Cecilia Tredget, Managing Director East of England Local Government Association, and Adam Rigarlsford, Sport England, who among the list of speakers are sharing their experience of the value and impact of systems leadership on behaviours, outcomes and attracting investment, and why building further capacity is critical to achieving The Future of Essex.

Participants are involved in project workshops to deliver our shared vision for the county; The Future of Essex. The workshops are focusing on effective partnership work to drive forward seven areas of work; data analytics, reducing mental health incidents, building civic pride and social capital, maximising the economic, community and public health potential of new garden communities, improving educational performance and promoting physical activity to support physical and mental health.
