Editor's Notes
- I set up Philia because I believe boards make a huge impact on charity success. I wanted to help improve the quality, diversity and effectiveness of NFP leadership, and in particular to see more boards with diverse talent and real impact providing constructive leadership for committed executive teams.
- In small charities, the Director often does more of the background work (research and planning) that would be the responsibility of Fundraising staff in a larger charity.

- Motivations will inform who contacts them, how, where, at what stage of the process. For example, some candidates will not take the role seriously unless they feel that they have been identified as the unanimous first choice.
- VISION What do you need, but more important, what WILL you need? The best boards are DIVERSE Skills, experience, age, attitude, geography, ethnicity, gender, community networks, spheres of influence, ‘representation’ (but beware, as this should be secondary role, and when they are in the board room, they need to be part of the team, not just lobbying for a section of stakeholders), personality Governance docs Check process for recruiting trustees Check special requirements for appointment of Chairman Info pack Brief overview & history of charity Outline of future activity, including fundraising campaigns, capital building plans, major programmes or initiatives, policy challenges Role description Outline of process (incl application form, or instructions how to apply or to be nominated) Contact person for candidates
- Treasure means ‘to contribute, within the limits of their financial means, to the organisation they govern.’ CONTROVERSIAL but I think essential.
