Being the informed trustee or not for profit committee member

The course is essential to those who are, or would like to be, a trustee or member of a not-for-profit (NFP) committee, who require a general knowledge and understanding of their shared responsibilities.

The course is open to members, non-members and their clients.

This course’s objectives are to:

• explain the wider benefits and advantages of being a trustee or committee member;
• provide an overview of member roles and responsibilities in such organisations;
• explain the application of rules and definitions within a charitable trust and how these play-out in a less structured body;
• empower delegates to understand other trustees and committee members’ responsibilities; and to
• enable delegates to interpret the numbers and contribute to the annual report as part of their joint stewardship.
