How much time and commitment is required?
Trustees are expected to attend bi-monthly board meetings, which take place at the Garden on the evening of the third Wednesday of each month at 7pm.
Trustees are also expected to take time to carefully review the shared papers ahead of these meetings, which include a finance report, KPIs, and a CEO report.
Trustees are also expected to take on some additional duties, which may be specific to your expertise (e.g. the treasurer will review accounts, or a HR expert may be requested to advise on specific issues), or more general, such as contributing to the development of a strategic document.
There is a minimum time commitment of approximately 4 hours a month. Trustee roles are unpaid and voluntary.
