New to the board? How to make an impact from day one

This event is part of the Aspiring Trustee Series!

We often focus our efforts on becoming a trustee, but what’s it like once you are one?   

How can you hit the ground running and be useful from day one?  

What should you expect, what support should you seek and what strategies can help you to be an effective trustee?   

Our panel of trustees will share what it’s really like in that first year and their tips on thriving as a new trustee.  

This is a great session if you’re thinking about becoming a trustee or want to understand the early experience of joining a board. You’ll also have the chance to put your questions to our panel when registering.  

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.
