Hello ! You are signed in. What would you like to do?
Given the current impracticalities of holding physical events, ACO’s 73rd AGM, which took place on Thursday 18 June, was ACO's first online event of this nature.
We are pleased to launch details of our summer programme of online events. Register your attendance below to be provided with Zoom access details.
ACO seeks to run a campaign to promote the work of grant-giving charities to members of the public who might need support in the coming months as the COVID-19 crisis progresses and furlough ends. For this, we hope to gather data from our members to support this campaign.
Several members have expressed an interest in how ACO went about running our first virtual AGM, where members might soon find the need to do the same. Below are some considerations and learnings from our experience.
Who do you need on your Board of Trustees right now? What skillsets are missing – a HR expert, perhaps someone with digital experience, maybe a marketing specialist? Ideally someone who has working corporate knowledge, maybe from a recognisable company brand, who can bring their bigger thinking into your organisation and help you grow/develop to that next stage further. I want to pose a debate on the recruitment of a Trustee and suggest some ideas as to how to approach this differently.
Recruiting during Covid-19 has presented its own set of challenges, talking to Rebecca O’Connor at Allen Lane it is clear that by being agile and responsive, they have been able to maintain business as usual whilst still delivering high standards of client and candidate care.
