Often we are asked to sit on boards of charities, sporting clubs, community organisations and like organisations. One consideration is “Should I accept the appointment?” and “Is it for me?”. The other is understanding the benefit of helping others and doing “your bit” for the community as well as making key contacts and developing your firm. This session will focus on my experience and the personal benefits gained from working with charities and other not-for-profits over 25 years as a Board Member and Treasurer and 15 years as a Chair.
