Other trusteenetplus benefits and discounts

As a trusteenetplus member, you will be eligible for discounted or free entry to most CTN events, including our notable lunch and lecture series, more intimate trustee networking events, and seminars around the country.  We also hold some events strictly for trusteenetplus members, to which you will receive a personal invitation.

We are regularly enhancing our suite of discounted benefits and welcome feedback on what would be most useful to our members.

Current additional benefits include -

Chairtalk - A discount (larger than for people who are only registered with trusteenet) on the price of chair support sessions with Chairtalk. See www.chairtalk.org.uk for more details.

BoardsCount™ - A service specifically designed to help third sector organisations know whether they are doing a good job and to compare the detailed practices of their boards and committees in a confidential way.  Organisations can also assess how their board feels about current issues, and whether their views are typical of other similar trustee boards.

Using BoardsCount™  leads to a number of other benefits:

• It give you reassurance about what’s working well
• It gives you the data so you can ask informed questions about what you may be finding hard
• It helps you determine the board’s future priorities
• It helps you position your board to be more effective for the future
• It helps you assess how well you are doing against the Code of Goverance

Designed by senior figures from the sector including chairs, senior staff and board members, the service will run from late summer and report in early 2009.
BoardsCount™  gathers information from a range of people at a charity on 12 key subjects. This is used to provide three reports -
• The Sector Overview Report that comprises a commentary and detailed information about the range of performance on each topic in relation to all participants. This report will also give advice on how to make the best use of the reports for your board.
• The Statistics Report with all the numbers on a CD-Rom, provided.
• The individual Scorecard Report: An individually tailored report that highlights the performance of each organisation against other organisations taking part (confidentially). This report also includes guidance on how to use the information provided.

BoardsCount™ Discounts
Special rates have been negotiated for trustees involved with CTN.
• Trustees who have registered for free on CTN’s website can get a 5% discount on the standard prices.
• Trusteenetplus members can get a 15% discount PLUS a free peer group report. This compares their organisation’s practices with a sub-group of their choosing (about 10 others), in addition to the ‘standard’ individual scorecard report.
