Are you a trustee under 30 or aspiring to become one? Join us at our Young Trustees' Community Cafe!

When 1/12 trustees are named either John or David and fewer than 3% of trustees are under 30, it’s no secret that board diversity is an issue.

The Young Trustees Community Cafe is a space for young people interested in governance to make meaningful networks and learn from one another.

This space was created by popular demand from young trustees like you. Connect with fellow young trustees, exchange insights, and dive into invaluable resources.

Structure of each session:

• Hear about trustee vacancies
• Q&A with a young trustee
• Breakout rooms for networking, sharing advice, and having meaningful conversations
• Reflections and feedback

The Q&A session, for the first 20 minutes, is open to all, but following this the cafe will be a young person only space for those under 30.

Whether you're here to share your experiences or gather fresh ideas, this is your go-to spot for energising conversations and meaningful connections.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to be part of a thriving community. Spend an hour in lively discussions, networking, and empowering each other. RSVP, and spread the word!

When 1/12 trustees are named either John or David and fewer than 3% of trustees are under 30. It’s no secret that board diversity is an issue.

• Be able to articulate and understand how young trustees can enable organisations to navigate uncertainty, future proof decisions and reflect the interest of their communities.
• Have a framework to understand how to approach diversity on boards.
• Be able to run a session with a board to plan practical and achievable next steps.
