Trustee biographies

Hi all

My charity is considering whether to produce trustee biographies for the first time. There are currently 12 on the board.

Could anyone advise what a model trustee biography should contain ?

Many thanks

Hi Matt

We aren't aware of any model trustee biographies, but generally biographies might include:

-a photo
-a short paragraph on the trustee's background
-why they are involved with the organisation - i.e., what attracted them in the first place
-the skills they bring to the role
-possibly something on their interests

There are many and varied examples of trustee biographies on the web and they take different forms - so it's quite dependent on what image you would like to put across.

Hope this is of help
