A great turnout and inspirational panel made this event a success. The panel shared their knowledge of what it takes to be a trustee and demonstrated their obvious passion and commitment to serving the charities they work alongside. Members participated with their own questions and experience which made it a very interactive session.
During networking after the panel discussion, we received very positive feedback and a desire to attend future Women on Board events. Key take outs were:- Being a trustee is fun and something everyone can do, Financial services skills are in high demand, There are numerous resources that provide development and support (e.g. OSCAR and ACOSVO).
