I really enjoyed talking to John Powlton from M&G plc about his trustee roles. Becoming a trustee is one of the best ways to gain leadership training in post, as well as helping a cause you're passionate about. Many employers are more than happy to support their employees develop their skills. If you'd like to find out more about how you can ask your employer to support your journey into trusteeship, or if you work in HR and staff development and you'd like to have a quick chat with me about the leadership gains of helping staff become trustees, my DMs are open! #charitytrustee #leadershipdevelopment
New 'Trustee Truths' just landed! John Powlton tells Fiona McAuslan about his experience with our Charity Board Leadership Programme (kindly supported by his employer, M&G Investments) and the two Trustee roles he's since taken up. "I’ve learned huge amounts. I chair meetings much more now than I used to. One of the charities operates in a regulated sector and requires very structured governance and I chair the remuneration committee and the audit and risk committee." https://lnkd.in/eWyZp5U6

So many unverified charities online! I never send, buy, lend but through trusted charities as internet fraud is a huge international industry. Liars love the ‘net! I suggest using CharityNavigator.org search to find such serving your area and mission, go to the charity’s web site to discover their local partners, contact them to become a local partner. There is lots of money flowing in verified channels that do due diligence, audits. Frauds never do this, but just keep begging! Do your due diligence! Check Charity Navigator and know how they spend your dollar!
