What are the small things which could revolutionise the charity board room? How about: 🙂 Paying trustee out-of-pocket expenses (e.g. travel to meetings) as standard 🙂 Recruiting trustees openly 🙂 The expectation that trustees should get some training (and then helping them to get it) 🙂 Good inductions 🙂 Having trustee terms and using them religiously 🙂 Chairs equipping excellent contributions from trustees 🙂 Positively welcoming debate Common sense? But are they common practice...? For those interested in this topic, we have a free webinar on Monday 24th June for Small Charities Week to discuss the small changes which might make the difference between an engaged and effective board and one which, well, isn't... Jumara Stone, Shaminder Rai and Catherine Hemingway will talk about the changes they made on their boards, and me, Colette Harrison and Laura Lowther will talk about how small changes can make boards (and volunteering as a trustee) more interesting, engaging and inclusive. Event details in the comments.

This looks like a useful webinar for #smallcharities wanting to develop how they recruit and support #trustees
