How to Find, Induct and Support New Trustees

Trustees are ultimately responsible for the financial health of your organisation, for supporting staff and volunteers and for making sure the organisation achieves its overall purpose, so finding and keeping the right trustees is absolutely critical.

Contrary to popular belief, not every organisation needs a solicitor, an accountant and a HR specialist on the board! Most would be better served by clearly identifying the skills and experience that their particular organisation needs at this time, both to meet legal requirements and to optimise success, then applying creative methods to recruiting people with those skills.

Delivered by an experienced governance specialist, this workshop is an exploration into the key aspects of trustee/director recruitment and retention. It will teach you what to look for, where to look and how to ensure that the people you recruit are the people you really need. It will also help you to support new trustees well, from day one.

You will leave this training:

• knowing how to really identify the trustees that your organisation needs
• equipped with the knowledge of where to find them
• with a clear understanding of the process to follow, to help appoint and induct new trustees
• with a system for supporting your trustees on an ongoing basis
