The document discusses strategies for recruiting the best boards of trustees. It outlines why trustee recruitment is important, the value of diversity, and provides a case study of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health's (RCPCH) process to reform its board structure over 20 years. The RCPCH faced problems with a board that was too large and not skilled enough to oversee its growing organization. It introduced a new structure with a smaller Board of Trustees focused on governance and risk, a Council for strategic direction, and an Executive Committee to operationalize decisions. The document reviews challenges in implementing changes and outlines an effective trustee recruitment process.

Notes de l'éditeur
- 850,000 Trustees => each responsible for £83K If each spends 1 day a month, then that is 96 million hours.
- What do you wish to get out of this session?
- Before we get on to why it is important, who are they!? Never has the need for good governance been more important
- Never has there been so much scrutiny on charities. Never has there been such a demand for the services of our sector. People have asked me, are people put off – quite the opposite – people want to leverage their talents. BUT – we have a responsibility to do recruit people who are fit for the role. The CC is consulting on its power to disqualify and publically name and shame poor trustees. Ultimately owe it to our beneficiaries to get the right people in place. One way of tackling this is by tackling diversity, which I know will a pillar in the new governance code, a draft of which will be published this week.
- Diversity isn’t just a nice to have, it makes business sense: Catalyst and McKinsey published in 2007. New York-based Center for Talent Innovation more recently tracked causation. Also Deloitte and Tufts. Talking about diversity in its broadest sense Not tokenistic or a tick-box exercise – diverse board make better decisions A diverse board can increase public confidence and accountability Different types of trustees and a healthy changeover help to keep the board fresh and new ideas and prevent leadership becoming stale A diverse board contains a broader mix of skills, knowledge and experience which should give it greater flexibility to overcome challenges Many charities have a public duty to promote equality either in legalisation or their own articles
