The weekly roundup from VANEL on good governance, charity trusteeship and non-profit leadership. News, information, resources and ideas. Complemented by our monthly “View from the Top” e-newsletter (Trustee Network members only), our “aboutgovernance” online discussion space for leaders and trustees and our @aboutgovernance<\/a> Twitter feed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Reminder from last week: latest “Governance Round-up” from NCVO is out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cInduction and Refresher Training for Trustees<\/a>\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 a VANEL training session for newer trustees is on Wednesday 8th March<\/strong> and places are still available. From 3pm-5pm at VANEL offices, Grimsby. \u00a310pp (\u00a315pp for non-members)<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology for Trustees\u201d<\/strong>. In this increasingly digital world, what do trustees need to know and how can they tackle the better use of technology for their organisations? Friday 10th March<\/strong>,<\/span> 10am-11.30am, \u00a35pp (\u00a310pp non-members)<\/p>\n

For either of these training sessions, or to discuss bespoke governance or trusteeship training for your board or committee, just contact me (Karl) to discuss.<\/p>\n

Opportunities required<\/strong><\/p>\n

Via our Reaching Communities “IGNITE” programme we have quite a few younger people who are seeking opportunities to get more actively involved in charity leadership or governance.\u00a0 We know of a few younger people who have just become charity trustees or committee members, and recently we had one younger person sit in and shadow a couple of local board meetings to help them learn more.<\/p>\n

If your charity is interested in engaging further with a younger person at committee\/board level, then please contact me (Karl) for a chat.\u00a0 Perhaps someone could shadow one of your meetings? Perhaps someone already on your board would like to mentor a young person as they learn more about governance?\u00a0 Perhaps you have projects that need project managing? We have younger people getting experience of running these sorts of voluntary sector projects – perhaps they could help you? Or finally, perhaps you have actual opportunities to join your board that might be open to a younger person.<\/p>\n

Younger people bring enthusiasm, new perspectives, often experience of technology and social media, experience of marketing and may represent a different demographic that could be of relevance to you.<\/p>\n

If any of this sounds relevant to you, please get in touch for a conversation. Thank you.<\/p>\n

LVC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lincolnshire Volunteer Card<\/a> (LVC) training is still ongoing at VANEL, so if your organisation has volunteers (including board\/committee members) who would like to participate in this six module training programme then find out more here<\/a> and book necessary places. If your volunteers are aged under 25 and involved in some way in leadership or are unemployed then it’s even better and the places on the course will be completely subsidised and therefore free.<\/p>\n

The VANEL Trustee Network…<\/strong><\/p>\n

… is open to any trustee, director, committee member, manager (or interested person) in any organisation that is a Member or Friend of VANEL.\u00a0 It’s free, informal, but allows us to communicate more effectively with you about anything governance, leadership or trusteeship related.\u00a0 We also have a private online discussion website at www.vanel.org.uk\/aboutgovernance where Trustee Network members can login, ask questions (or answer them), share ideas, experiences and thoughts, get support and generally join a network of like-minded voluntary and charitable sector trustees.<\/p>\n

If you would like to formally ‘join’ the Trustee Network and be allocated a username and password to the ‘aboutgovernance’ website, then please just get in touch with me as below. Thank you.<\/p>\n

To discuss governance, trusteeship or leadership, or to subscribe to the Trustee Network, please drop me a line<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
