Following our successful and engaging Charity Leaders Forum on Trusteeship on 1 December 2020; where expert speaker Penny Wilson, CEO of Getting on Board, spoke about the importance of recruiting the right trustees to serve on your charity board, we're delighted to announce our series of masterclasses launching in January 2021.

Join us for the series of five online masterclasses where we'll take a closer look at how to recruit the best possible mix of individuals for your charity board. We'll be providing practical tips and tools which will enable you to market your trustee roles to a wider audience.

Getting On Board

Getting on Board helps find the best possible volunteers to serve on charity boards. They support and train charities to improve their board recruitment, and they help individuals and their employers to find the best possible opportunities. They are changing the face of trusteeship through more open recruitment practices. Open recruitment works because it brings you more candidates, and particularly a more diverse range of candidates, and this means a greater range of skills and perspectives on your board – two things which are absolutely key to success.
