So you want to be a trustee
(and why you absolutely should):

Here's a role that pays nothing but might be the smartest career move. 

We are teaming up with Peridot Partners, who recruit trustees and senior leaders for charities, education and the arts, to walk you through how to actually get on a board, and why you should consider it. 

You sit in rooms with senior people and professionals from different sectors. You learn how money, governance and strategy really work. You build a network. And you do something genuinely good for a cause you care about. Which is a lot of leadership development. 

What we'll cover

• Why do boards need young trustees?

• Why should aspiring young trustees join boards? 

• How — Where the roles actually get advertised and how to apply without 20 years of board experience. What makes a good trustee once you're in the room. And the due diligence to do BEFORE you say yes. 

• Two real case studies — People who did this, what it opened up for them, and what they wish they'd known going in.

• Q&A — Bring your questions.

This is for you if 

...you're early or mid-career, you've never seen yourself reflected in the people who run things, and you've quietly wondered whether "trustee" is a word that could apply to you. It can. You will also learn what showing leadership skills look like, which you can apply now in whatever path you're in.
