Perspectives on Practice: An artist's transition to board
Location:
Timings: 15:30 - 17:00
Are you an artist who has thought about being on a board of trustees? Are you aware of the career benefits of being on a board? Do you want your voice heard?

Considering that most arts organisation are governed by a board of trustees, artists are incredibly valuable in roles of governance. Being on a board not only gives artists a greater say in decision-making practices within organisations but allows for other artists’ voices to be heard by being in a position of influence. 
 
Join former People Dancing board member Jeanette Bain-Burnett in this discussion-based session that breaks down some of the protocol, language and roles and responsibilities in being on a board of trustees and that aims to support artists to gain confidence in making future applications.

This event is free of charge to People Dancing Members and £5.00 for non-members.

Bookings for this event are now closed

Booking deadline: Monday 8 November 2021.
