Well, the second issue \u2013 January 2016 &#8211; has just gone out too. And if you received your copy then I hope it\u2019s interesting and useful to you. I\u2019d love to have your feedback (<a href=\"mailto:karl@vanel.org.uk\">karl@vanel.org.uk<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This second issue included news from last November\u2019s Trustee Week and Trustee Conference, asked questions about board diversity and pressure on trustees to do too much and took a good look at a number of important recent publications related to Trusteeship. The \u2018Challenge\u2019 column looked at resources to differentiate between good and bad trustees and posed some questions to ask yourself and your board. A longer article explored the recent \u201cWired to Govern\u201d report which highlights the need for trustees to get very involved with technology and another article touched on using the \u201cGovernance Wheel\u201d to support your board through development and improvements. A quick overview of the \u201cCode of Good Governance\u201d for those less familiar with it and an overview of the training and support offer from VANEL rounded off this issue.<\/p>\n<p>If you didn\u2019t receive a copy and your organisation is a Member or Friend of VANEL then let me know and I\u2019ll add you to the email mailing list. Or you could speak to your Chair \u2013 with a bit of luck they have received it from us already. It only goes out electronically for cost and efficiency reasons, so please speak to your Chair or management if you need a copy.<\/p>\n<p>Next issue of \u201cThe View from the Top\u201d is out in February, and in the meantime if you have any questions about support for your board or tackling Trustee related issues then please contact me \u2013 Karl Elliott (<a href=\"mailto:karl@vanel.org.uk\">karl@vanel.org.uk<\/a>, 01472 361043).<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-10710\" data-postid=\"10710\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-10710 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The January edition of our &#8220;The View from the Top&#8221; e-newsletter for Trustees has just gone out.
