Becoming a trustee, director or committee member is an opportunity to make a real difference. It is a chance to stand behind a cause you care deeply about and shape the vision and direction of a group or organisation working in that area.
Every decision you make together as a board or committee contributes to lasting, positive impact in the community. You do not have to be in paid work or have years of previous experience. Good people skills and great teamwork are just as important as technical knowledge or professional expertise.
As a trustee, director or committee member you:
- Use your time, skills, and energy to support a cause close to your heart
- Help to deliver change that impacts lives and strengthens communities
- Further grow your leadership, decision making and problem solving experience
