What is a heritage trustee and how do I become one?
AIM is hosting a series of free Heritage Trustees 101 events to help prepare potential trustees to join our members and provide networking opportunities for those considering a trustee role in the independent museum sector. Sessions will also offer museums specific guidance on strengthening their trustee recruitment process.
Join us at our free online Heritage Trustees 101 event on Tuesday 8 September.
What to expect?
- Introduction and welcome
- Becoming an effective museum trustee
- Panel discussion with current museum Trustees and AIM team.
What’s the cost?
This event is free.
Who is this for?
Ideal for potential trustees currently working within the sector looking to better understand the role of the Trustee and, the skills and the commitment required for success. The session is also ideal for those outside of the sector, looking to understand the key governance issues and realities of Board work in museums.
A successful Trustee in a heritage organisation can come from any background, from any career stage and at any age – so whatever your motivation and wherever you are in your journey to joining a Board, join us to find out more!
If you’re already a trustee with a museum / heritage organisation and are looking for training, then look out for our Trustee Induction, a two-part online course taking place later in 2026. Sign up to our weekly eNews using the link below to be the first to hear about this and other AIM events.
When and where is this happening?
This event is online via Zoom, 4pm-6pm on Tuesday 8 September.
