Museum Development Midlands

Stronger Boards connects museum trustees to share challenges, build networks, and develop strategic solutions across the Midlands.

About this eventStronger Boards: being part of a museum’s board of trustees is a unique privilege and one that comes with challenges and expectations. For those fitting trusteeship in and around their lives outside of museums, it can be isolating too.In 2026, the Stronger Boards programme will bring trustees and those working with trustees together to confront those challenges, finding pathways to the right strategic choices for your organisations, sharing learning and experiences, and building a supportive sector network within the Midlands.Succession planning is a vital aspect of creating a resilient museum yet it is often overlooked - by boards and organisations alike. It's something we know we should do, but is all too easily pushed down the 'to-do' list, until it becomes a topic we're almost afraid to tackle head-on.In this Stronger Boards session, we'll be discussing succession planning; how to break it down, how to successfully address it, and how to keep it relevant to your organisation.We'll share experiences and peer learning in a friendly and confidential setting.The event will be delivered via Zoom using a range of exercises and interactive features including Chat and Breakout Rooms, and will include a short break.Each session will last for around 90 minutes and will not be recorded.If you have any concerns about accessibility or usability for these features please contact enquiries@mdmidlands.org.ukThis event supports the Arts Council England Inclusivity and Relevance Investment Principle About the trainerThe session will be facilitated by Tonia Collett, a museum professional, who has been working within the sector for over twenty years, including as a trustee.
