Are your Board equipped to navigate the current, challenging environment and help you not just survive but thrive? BTA support Scotland’s charities to recruit dozens of Trustees every year so we know that it’s never easy.
Looking ahead to what 2022 will bring we also know that it’s really important to strengthen your Board now.

We are making our in-house knowledge available to guide charity leaders and Boards to tackle recruitment of new Trustees with confidence. It goes way beyond the accountant, lawyer and HR professional checklist. It is crucial to identify the skill balance that you need on your Board. We know that diversity is powerful and how to recruit to achieve it. And most important of all, we know how to INSPIRE potential trustees to join you.

Learning the basics of robust Trustee recruitment will give you the tools to strengthen your organisation for the long haul, bringing in the skills, connection and perspective that you need. A well-resourced, knowledgeable and supportive Board can transform your fundraising, governance and strategic planning. 

This will be a hands-on engaging session where you will learn tried and tested methods to recruit a diverse, skill-matched, and inspired Board.  

BTA Knowledge is about making expertise available from those who know the reality of the frontlines. Our Chief Executive Bruce Tait is presenting an interactive session to share practical and proven processes. He has been on both sides of the process, as a charity Chair himself, serving on the Boards of around a dozen other charities, and leading BTA’s Trustee Recruitment Service. 

Bruce Tait has guided organisations at the highest levels nationally and internationally. An in-demand speaker and expert facilitator, Bruce has a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of the international charity sphere forged by 25 years in senior leadership roles in the voluntary sector. He has consulted for charities in Canada, Ireland, USA, Sweden, Holland and Spain. A former Chair of the Institute of Fundraising Scotland, Bruce was recently made a Fellow of the IoF.
