How to build your confidence as a trustee

This event is part of the Aspiring Trustee Series!

Many new trustees feel they’re not qualified to be around the board table. Sound familiar?

In this supportive session, we’ll explore ways to build your confidence as a trustee — from understanding your strengths, to speaking up in meetings, to surviving your first board meeting.

You’ll hear from trustees who’ve been there, and what helped them find their feet and their voice.

This session is open to anyone, but we think it’ll be of particular interest to aspiring or newly recruited trustees who might be lacking confidence in their place on the board.

Brought to you by Eastside People as part of the Festival of Trusteeship during Trustees' Week 2025, with headline support from the Institute of Leadership.
