Trustee of the Executive Committee
We are looking to recruit more dedicated Trustees from all walks of life and work experiences to become a member of the executive committee to help steer IANE forward.
IANE values diversity and welcomes any members of the public who are interested in furthering the aims of IANE, to join our board. It is important that a Trustee is able to devote the necessary time, have strategic vision, an understanding of advocacy, an ability to think creatively and a willingness to speak their mind. Board meetings are held early evening, usually every two months at the IANE offices, at the Linskill Centre.
