Charity Trustee: Why not me?
Panel discussion & Breakfast
Tuesday 12th May 2026 at 8:15am
HEC UK House, 43 Parker Street London, WC2B 5PS
Serving as a charity trustee isn’t just for seasoned executives—it’s an opportunity open to curious, committed people at every stage of their career. This event will explore what trustees actually do, why young professionals bring real value to boards, and how to take that first step. This event is a follow-up to a previous breakfast held with RIAC in 2025. Come and hear from a number of alumni and their journey to become charity trustees. If you’ve ever wondered “why not me?”, this is your chance to find out.
