Trustees' Week: Jerry Marwood
At Moon Executive Search, our Charity Practice, led by Sandy Hinks, works closely with non-profit, charity and voluntary sector clients to place candidates in a range of roles from Chair and Trustee to senior management and board roles such as CEO, COO, Finance Director, Marketing, Operations and Policy.
7 - 11 November is Trustees’ Week in the UK – giving us the opportunity to celebrate the immense contributions of the nearly 1 million Trustees across the UK.
While Trustees usually come from successful, celebrated careers in other fields, the work they do for charity often goes on in the background, remaining silent and unsung.
Well, this is a week for busting the silence and shouting about the brilliance of Trustees! So, we’re giving the floor to some Trustees recently placed by Moon Executive Search, to share their experiences…
““What I’ve discovered in one short year is a team of colleagues that have the privilege, tenacity and accountability for delivering projects that actually change people’s lives. I’ve learned things about funding mechanisms, governance and fiscal control that could teach industry a lesson or two, and I’ve also met a hugely diverse group of talented Trustees drawn from industry and the public sector who bring diversity and insight to our organisation - just because they can!
Would I recommend being a Trustee? If you want to continue learning and you enjoy stepping outside your comfort zone. Absolutely.””
Moon Executive Search is currently looking for candidates for multiple Trustee (and other roles) on behalf of some brilliant charities. View current charity vacancies.
