If you're new to the role of trustee (or committee member/board member), the breadth of your role can be confusing or even rather frightening. This short session gives an overview of what it is all about. It provides lots of opportunities to ask questions and is a perfect introductory session to the more in-depth "Governing Your Organisation" training which will be held later this year.
The session takes place at the Voluntary Action Centre on 24 June starting at 3:30.
