Summary
We are looking for people to join the Board of Trustees. Trustees have overall responsibility for the Museum and act as its governing body.Detailed description
Trustees are legally responsible for directing the Museum's affairs, ensuring it is solvent and well run, and delivering its charitable objectives.
The Board of Trustees meets six times per year. Individual Trustees are also involved in chairing committees and driving particular projects. The Trustees act as ambassadors for the Museum, attending fundraising events, the opening of new exhibitions and meetings with partners and stakeholders. There are also specific roles. For example, one Trustee acts as Treasurer, and one chairs the Technical Committee. The current Trustees have a wide range of professional and personal skills.
Trustees will not be paid. Being a Trustee will provide a challenging, rewarding and enjoyable opportunity to get involved and have an important role in shaping the future of the Museum and the Board.
The role of the Trustees is to:
- Take ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the Museum.
- Ensure that there is a clear vision, mission and strategic direction and focus on achieving these as the Museum develops.
- Act reasonably and prudently in the best interests of the Museum, never in pursuit of personal interests or the interests of another organization, meeting the legal obligations common to all Trustees.
- Act as guardians of the assets owned and managed by the Museum, both tangible and intangible, taking due care over their security, deployment and proper application.
