What is Trustee Week 2017?
Trustees’ Week has a number of aims:
- To celebrate and thank charity trustees for the key role which they play in the governance and leadership of Ireland’s charities
- To highlight the importance of good governance of boards, promote the need for a thorough knowledge of trustees’ roles and responsibilities, education and upskilling of trustees
- To highlight the need for new trustees to come forward, and highlight the means by which new trustees can be connected with charities that need trustees
