Trustee Recruitment
Arts Council funding has very specific requirements for Not-for-Profit Organisations on the diversity of their Trustee Boards including the representation of Disabled trustee’s. We are aware through our own experiences of being trustee’s that there can be many barriers to recruiting and retaining a diverse board, therefore we are creating a workshop specifically about recruiting and retaining Disabled trustees. To help us we would like to hear from you to understand your experience of recruiting and retaining a diverse trustee board. This survey is anonymous however should you wish to be contacted with details of the workshop or would prefer to discuss trustee recruitment on a one-to-one basis please give your contact details at the end of this questionnaire.
