Book now for Better Together #4: Governance, ...

Open
Book now for Better Together #4: Governance, governance….How to love it and why it’s important. Join us on Thursday 15 February, 1-2pm for our online session on governance with Andrea Nixon of culturepeopleuk. Details below, link in bio to book. Finding the ‘right’ volunteer Trustees….Board meetings which are helpful not harmful….keeping on top of reporting….how to engage individuals, particularly in relation to funding… It has never been easy to recruit and keep a perfect Board, but it can seem even tougher at present, particularly when many arts organisations feel as if they have been in crisis mode since Covid.  This session will discuss: What’s working and not working at the moment? Why? How do we make change happen? Who can help? We’ll look in particular at how to develop your board (Skills, recruitment, training, ongoing reviews) and ways of making the relationship between board and executive blossom. Bi-monthly Better Together sessions offer an opportunity for change makers in the East Midlands, UK to connect. We particularly encourage attendance from directors, trustees and programme leads and welcome participants to share with the group current challenges that their organisation is facing, helping establish a supportive space for shared learning and development. Sessions proritise time for open discussion. People Make It Work was established by Richard Watts over 20 years ago to support organisational development for cultural organisations. Its programmes include change management, employee engagement, leadership development, fundraising, facilitation and training, including its highly regarded Change Creation programme.  Andrea Nixon is a highly experienced executive director and cultural consultant. She has developed cultural strategies for places ranging from Salisbury to Birkenhead and worked with a number of museums, galleries and collections in depth on their vision and sustainable operations, including National Museums Liverpool, National Museum Wales, Turner Contemporary, Kettle’s Yard & the Arts Council Collection.
