The Association of Chairs (AoC) is a membership organisation that exists to support chairs and the boards of charities and non-profits across the UK. We help these volunteers to understand their responsibilities, to develop good governance and run an effective trustee board. Our resources and events are designed specifically to help those who lead non-profit boards.
We now need new trustees with the skills, expertise and personal qualities to develop and add value to our work.
Our trustees have a shared responsibility for governing the Association. We do our best to ensure AoC is led, managed, and run responsibly, based on our vision, our mission, our values, and ambitions. We also oversee our legal obligations.
Could you join our board?
Boards are at their most effective when they have a wide range of skills and experience. We are very open-minded about the skills we are looking for.
