What is a heritage trustee and how do I become one?

The Association of Independent Museums (AIM) is hosting a series of free Heritage Trustees 101 events to help prepare potential trustees to join our members and provide networking opportunities for those considering a trustee role in the independent museum sector. Sessions will also offer museums specific guidance on strengthening their trustee recruitment process.

What to expect

  • Introduction and welcome

  • Becoming an effective museum trustee

  • Panel discussion with current museum Trustees and AIM team

Who is this for?

Ideal for potential trustees currently working within the sector looking to better understand the role of the Trustee and, the skills and the commitment required for success. The session is also ideal for those outside of the sector, looking to understand the key governance issues and realities of Board work in museums.

A successful Trustee in a heritage organisation can come from any background, from any career stage and at any age – so whatever your motivation and wherever you are in your journey to joining a Board, join this session to find out more!
