What is a Board of Trustees?

A Board of Trustees is a group of individuals entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the management, policies, and strategic direction of an organisation, often a nonprofit, educational institution, or charitable foundation. The board ensures that the organisation operates in accordance with its mission, adheres to legal and ethical standards, manages financial resources responsibly, and fulfils its objectives. Trustees are typically volunteers and act as the governing authority, providing leadership and accountability for the organisation's long-term success.

Board of Trustee Key Responsibilities:

As a Trustee, you will:

• Provide direction and guidance for the organisation's goals and overall management.
• Shape the organisation’s direction and help achieve its mission.
• Ensure the organisation is financially sustainable and is following appropriate legislation.
• Bring your insights, skills, and networks to support our goals.
• Act as an ambassador for the organisation, promoting our values and work to a wider audience.

Benefits of being a Board Member of Women on Wheels
