Thu 28th April: Enhancing Board Diversity, recruiting and retaining trustees – Perminder Dhillon, CAVS
The case for diverse boards has been well made. Different skills, experiences, perspectives and views support healthy governance discussions and contribute to inclusive decision making.
This session will focus on top tips for recruiting trustees from diverse backgrounds. We will also consider factors that help as well as factors that hinder successful implementation of board diversity.
At the end of the session, participants will be given a short questionnaire to complete in their own time to assess the current diversity of their boards and how they can plan to better reflect their communities, service users and stakeholders in the governance of their organisation.
Fri 29th April: Regional Overview and Relaxation
A brief overview of regional developments from the Chief Officers of the 3 County Voluntary Councils followed by a relaxing mindfullness session to wind down the week!
