When you imagine a Board of Trustees, is it something you see yourself doing? Or is the image of a ‘typical Board’ one you can’t envision yourself in at this stage of your career?
Join us on Zoom on Wed 21 Sept at 1pm to discuss the topic of how to become a Trustee, asking questions about the value of diverse perspectives and why you should feel empowered to join a Board.
There will be an opportunity to put your questions to our fantastic panel – a mixture of current Trustees and those championing for greater diversity at the top.
