At RIAC we're super pleased to have welcomed 3 new mentors to our ‘Brain Trust’ of experienced arts trustees over the past few months. Welcome to Susannah Simons, Victoria Robey @VictoriaSHRobey & Philip Jones who join our team of fantastic RIAC mentors. riac-uk.org/2024/04/18/ria…

Great to be at @BarbicanCentre for last night's @londonsymphony #halfsixfix concert with a group of young arts trustees from RIAC. Nothing beats experiencing arts & culture live and this was a great concert format.

We're really looking forward to chatting to @PeterBazalgette at the next of our RIAC Meet a Mentor sessions on 14 March. Find out more about RIAC and our Mentors at riac-uk.org/the-brain-trust If you'd like to join us next week, sign up as a trustee candidate via the RIAC website

📝 Friday think piece: Sir Vernon Ellis, one of RIAC's Brain Trust of mentors, shares his thoughts about the importance of board sub-committees. ❔ Does this chime with your experience? Does every board need sub-committees? riac-uk.org/2024/01/26/sir… #charitygovernance #trustees

Its always great to see our trustees in action. @SwannMatthew is working with @RIACartsnetwork to shake up governance and trustee recruitment in the sector💡

Finding new trustees and board members can be a challenge for many organisations - to help tackle this @RIACartsnetwork has started a matchmaking service. If you're interested in becoming a trustee, or your organisation that recruits trustees and board members, take a look.

ICYMI: Arts boards must balance financial sustainability with creative growth, but often lack trustee expertise. Anna Rowe and Matthew Swann of @RIACartsnetwork have set up a matchmaking service to help address this @SwannMatthew artsprofessional.co.uk/magazine/artic…
