The Trustees Network is a forum where you can meet with other trustees. We’re creating a space where you can ask questions, get ideas from others, share your experience, think about challenges, develop your skills as a trustee.
You might be a new trustee or been in the role for some time, all are welcome. The broad focus of the network is on the Role of Trustee as a Leader. Network meetings will take place every other month we want to include as many people as possible so have alternative times of 16:00 – 18:00 with tea and cakes and 18:00 – 20:00 with wine and a snack.
Each meeting will have two parts. The first part will focus on a particular topic, offering models or frameworks to help you think and work more effectively with an issue. The second part of the meeting will be a more informal space with refreshments and a chance to talk, share ideas and thinking with fellow trustees.
This programme is focused on:
Developing your network
Exploring frameworks and problem solving
Sharing successes and challenges with peers
