I think anything that allows trustees to share insights and best practice across organisations is a good thing.

Trustee retention

Posted 17 Mar 2008 by Site admin

“We’re having a real problem with trustee retention. We advertise the vacancies, and get a good response, but people seem to drop out within 3-6 months. We’re a small organisation, with only two paid staff, so we do need to ask our trustees for help on practical issues sometimes – is this what’s putting them off? Or isn’t that what they’re there for?”

(The above question was put to Karen Heenan, Chief Executive at CTN, in this month's VS Magazine. Her response can be found below and we hope other trustees will also add their comments).
