BIAZA is recruiting for two new trustees to join our Board
Could you join the BIAZA Board of Trustees and help BIAZA continue to drive excellence in animal welfare, conservation, education and research? Could you help us to make the best strategic decisions and support the BIAZA Executive Office in demonstrating our members value to society and use our collective expertise and voice to influence policy and champion positive behaviours?
Trustees are some of the most important people in a charity and we need a wide range of skills from our trustees to enable us to deliver on our purpose and strategy. All of our trustees have to be able to think strategically and creatively, be willing to speak their mind and be committed to our goals. This year we are particularly interested in applicants from the devolved nations and the Republic of Ireland and those with a commercial background.
For more information on the roles and responsibilities of trustees please refer to the Trustee Information Pack.
Commitment – four board meetings per year, usually two online and two face to face at member organisations. Additionally, you will be expected to devote time to properly preparing for the meetings, including reading board papers in advance and providing advice and guidance between meetings as required. You may also be asked to sit on sub-committees where your expertise would be beneficial. Attendance at the BIAZA Annual Conference for the AGM is also expected.
Trustees are appointed for an initial term of three years, with the potential for one further three-year
