Trustee diversity is poor and it’s heartening to see more London organisations seeking to diversify their board.
But what happens when trustees from under-represented groups join the boards of London charities? For some, it’s a fulfilling and developmental experience. But others are shocked when they are expected to comply with the charity’s age-old way of doing things, or worse find that they are a tokenistic appointment expected to comment on behalf of their perceived demographic but little else.
Join us to hear the poor and positive experience of under-represented trustees, and learn how your organisation might be more inclusive in its approach to equipping all of your trustees to contribute.
