Panel of experts will discuss real-life trustee recruitment issues submitted by trustees and charity managers. If you are struggling to recruit to your board at all, or to recruit the “right” trustees, this session is for you. Here’s a sample:

🤔 How do we go about attracting younger candidates to apply?
🤔 How do you include enough but not too much information to put people off in an information pack?

And that’s not surprising given that they are entrusted with the good governance of a charity, with expectations weighing down on them from all directions. Surely trustees are quite right to avoid risk like the plague? Actually, perhaps not. If we are too risk averse, we can miss opportunities, stifle innovation and fail to invest in growth. This session will be ideal for trustees interested in managing risks in their charities, who don’t have professional expertise in risk management.
