Developing our members

We will:

• Build the capability, knowledge and skills of our entire membership
• Share best practice
• Share skills
• Build the mutual support network that has been the bedrock of the organisation
• Ensure all members with board positions have the confidence to carry out their roles effectively through peer support

In developing our members, we:

• actively encourage all members interested in board applications or improving their board performance to have an active and realistic Board Development Plan
• ask members to evaluate the developmental activities yearly; we aim for high quality and high impact
• collect data from our membership to measure effectiveness of our support and their impact
• ensure members are clear who to go to for advice and the content of the Developing Members strategy and developmental activities available
• create attachment to our cause through members helping one another in terms of mentoring, buddying and offering their own ideas and services to support other members of the group
