Coming together to share challenges and learn from one another is an effective way to problem solve and pick up useful tips. \nThe event will include short talks/presentations from speakers in the Trustees/Board member/ NED world sharing their own experiences. We will then have time for some discussions\, finishing with a summary and Q & A session. There will be a chance to connect with fellow attendees. \nWhen booking you will be asked to put down your top 3 issues currently as a Trustee/Board Member/NED which will also help to shape discussions. \nIf you would like to join\, register for a free place! \n\nLink for Tickets: \n\nTrustees\, Board Members & NEDs: Online Event Tickets\, Thursday\, May 21  •  6:30 PM – 8 PM GMT+1 | Eventbrite
