Being an Employee Trustee is a key governance role that brings unique challenges, issues and opportunities. So where can you go for support and insight – to network and share best practice with others who understand? What if there was a safe, confidential environment where you could learn how to contribute effectively to your Board much sooner? Where you, in turn, could have insight to share?

At JGA, we can help. We enable Employee Trustees to grow their networks, share best practice and deepen their understanding – with our lively open forum, Trustee Connect. 

Whether you’re a new Employee Trustee or long-established, Trustee Connect provides an informal space for you to share and work through the issues that matter, providing valuable insight and context to take back to your Board.

What do we do?

Trustee Connect is centred around four annual 90-minute virtual open forums, with a clear purpose and JGA on hand to offer expert guidance. Each meeting includes facilitated discussions on key issues, with guest speakers on hot topics identified by you.

Trustee Connect is for Employee Trustees only and is free to JGA and Telos Partners clients, with no subscription or minimum attendance.

What do you gain?

Trustee Connect offers you a unique opportunity to network and share best practice with other Employee Trustees from diverse employee-owned businesses. Working through challenges in a safe environment helps you manage potential conflicts of interest as you strike the right balance between your employee and Trustee roles. Your Trust Board benefits from the fresh perspectives you gain.
