We are pleased to be working with the Association of Chairs to offer this online session. Please ensure you read the course description, including aims and objectives prior to booking. The partner trainers we are working with are experts in their field and, have been briefed on the structure of the WI. This course has been developed in consultation with existing Federation Trustees specifically for the WI.
Wednesday 25 June 12pm-2pm
This workshop will provide an opportunity for Federation Boards to explore ways to encourage and support the development of potential board trustees from within the wider memberships of their WIs.
It is aimed at those members of Federation Boards delegated with the task of recruiting new trustees, whether they hold a Chair, Vice-Chair, Sub-committee Chair or other role. We ask that no more than one person per federation attends.
During the workshop you will:
work with other Federation Board Members to develop a compelling ask for a potential new board member.
work with other Federation Board Members to develop a journey for a new WI member to eventually take up a Federation Board position.
draft an outline plan for the next 6-12 months to develop potential board members from within the wider membership of branches and recruit to vacant positions on your own Boards.
By the end of the session, we hope you will feel more supported in the task of continual succession planning for your Board.
This is a participatory training session and to ensure participants to feel able to ask questions and share experiences freely, this session will not be recorded.
