Great to be at @BarbicanCentre for last night's @londonsymphony#halfsixfix concert with a group of young arts trustees from RIAC. Nothing beats experiencing arts & culture live and this was a great concert format.
We're really looking forward to chatting to @PeterBazalgette at the next of our RIAC Meet a Mentor sessions on 14 March. Find out more about RIAC and our Mentors at https://t.co/r4EFQ9HtOp If you'd like to join us next week, sign up as a trustee candidate via the RIAC website
📝 Friday think piece: Sir Vernon Ellis, one of RIAC's Brain Trust of mentors, shares his thoughts about the importance of board sub-committees.
❔ Does this chime with your experience? Does every board need sub-committees? https://t.co/lmdPEuyo4w

Its always great to see our trustees in action. @SwannMatthew is working with @RIACartsnetwork to shake up governance and trustee recruitment in the sector💡
Finding new trustees and board members can be a challenge for many organisations - to help tackle this @RIACartsnetwork has started a matchmaking service.
If you're interested in becoming a trustee, or your organisation that recruits trustees and board members, take a look.
ICYMI: Arts boards must balance financial sustainability with creative growth, but often lack trustee expertise. Anna Rowe and Matthew Swann of @RIACartsnetwork have set up a matchmaking service to help address this @SwannMatthew https://t.co/0D9TfjRnUS

Great to read about yesterday's #GovNow conference from @GovernCulture - this definitely aligns with the work @RIACartsnetwork are doing to bring new and more diverse talent to UK arts boards
He closes by urging those not already on boards to definitely join one, and regard it as much as your day job as your job "it might just create the conditions you need to find your talent... perhaps a talent you didn't know you had."
