Networking meetings for the Thrive Trustee Network take place approximately monthly. Meetings alternate between those for members of the Network and those with a more general Governance stance which are open to all trustees, committee or board members of third sector organisations.
Governance meetings therefore take place approximately every two months. Meetings are free to attend for anyone interested in, or involved in governance within the third sector. You may be a trustee, a committee member or board member of a charity, a social enterprise or a community or voluntary group.
Whereas bi-monthly Member meetings are for members only, Governance networking meetings are open to all.
2010/11 Programme for the Governance meetings
The emphasis for both the members network and for the Governance network will continue to be around the development of an “effective board” (and by consequence, effective trustees or committee members).
We’ll use some of the nationally established frameworks to develop our skills and efficiency, namely:
The Code of Good Governance
The National Occupational Standards for Trustees and Committe Members
The Charity Commission Hallmark
We’ll look to provide national quality training, support, resources and networks locally in North East Lincolnshire.
More specifically…
The Code of Good Governance has been relaunched (2010) so we shall be discussing this during our 2010 meetings in some detail.
