Boards thrive when they can take practical and meaningful action to innovate for greater diversity, inclusion and belonging.

Young Trustees Movement’s Conversations Toolkit supports trustees and board stakeholders to hold constructive conversations that enable this to happen.

This means boards and the causes they support are better able to: navigate uncertainty, make future-proofed decisions and reflect the interests of their communities.

In this session we’ll discuss the purpose of YTM’s Conversations Toolkit, best practice and research underpinning it, and how you can use it in the boardroom. Join this online event on Monday 4th November at 12-1pm.

The Conversations Toolkit:

• Guides boards through our 5 step process to identify and act on parts of their working culture that could be adapted to be more inclusive, in a way that is neither judgemental nor overwhelming
• Supports boards to build the muscle of creating change, to be clear on how inclusion is at the centre of good practice, how to practically work through barriers, and innovate towards better governance.

Are you a trustee under 30 or aspiring to become one? Join us at the Young Trustees Movement for the launch of our monthly online drop-in, The Young Trustees Movement 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 our way of levelling the playing field by giving young trustees the space to make meaningful networks and learn from one another.

This dynamic space was created by popular demand from young trustees like you. Connect with fellow young trustees, exchange insights, and dive into invaluable resources. Spend an hour in lively discussions, networking, and empowering each other.

Structure of each session (subject to change depending on attendees and speakers):

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

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 and co-create what this space looks like going forwards.
