Board membership
Support and development for your chair and trustees so the whole board can benefit.
About board membership
Our membership isn’t just for individual chairs. We offer support and development for trustees too, so your whole board can grow and learn together. With board membership, your whole board gets access to training, events, our online community, and governance resources.
Board membership helps your whole board to be more resilient, effective, and inclusive.
From just £175 per year, depending on the size of your organisation. If you have 10 board members benefitting from membership, that could work out at just under £17.50 per person!
Learn and develop
Training for all trustees at different stages of their journey helps your board flourish. Improve succession planning, leadership development, and governance efficacy with events, resources, and updates.
Connect
Become part of our community of board leaders – from aspiring chairs to governance experts. Tap into a diverse network of peers, including sector and regional groups, and chair-only spaces, online and in person.
Join forces
Access other forms of expert support and development for your board. Unlock discounts from trusted partners and suppliers, so you can be confident that your board has all the support it needs to excel.
Save
Provide exceptional value per person by granting your entire board access to individual benefits. Nominate an administrator to enable easy management of your board’s membership, ensuring continuity when chairs move on.
