About the event
Formerly known as our Governance Forum, the Trustee Space is for you if you are on the board of a small charity working globally, or if you are involved in your charity's governance or leadership in other ways. We meet approximately every six weeks to learn, connect, ask questions and encourage each other.
This month we will be joined by James Riggs of Third Way who will deliver a guest talk on “Working with Boards: How to Build Trustee Engagement in Strategy and Learning":
"Based on common challenges I’ve seen around governance and delivery disconnect, this session would explore how boards can become active partners in organisational strategy and learning."
Make sure you register to receive the joining details, or contact janine@sidcn.org if you'd like to find out more. Please do invite your organisation's board members and leaders to join us as we explore this important issue.
Get involved - share your voice!
To help celebrate 10 years since the SIDCN Facebook group was born, we are putting together a video for our AGM and would love YOU to be a part of it.
How can you help?
Record a short video sharing a highlight, stand-out memory, particular impact, or one thing that SIDCN has meant to you over the last 10 years. Whether you've been around since the start, or have just joined us, we'd love to hear from you.
Tips & guidelines
-
Recording the video on your phone is absolutely fine.
-
Please record in portrait mode.
-
Around 20 seconds long is perfect. 30 seconds max!
-
No need to say your name or organisation in the video as we will add this info afterwards.
-
If you'd rather not be on video, you can submit an audio clip instead.
-
We're looking for authenticity, not perfection! Record it at your desk, in the kitchen, on the bus. As long as your audio is clear, we don't mind.
To celebrate 10 years, 10 video submissions will be picked at random to receive a £10 donation for their charity.
10 for 10 for 10!
The deadline to submit videos is Friday 16th January.
