Free webinar: Trusteeship as a route to becoming a Non-executive director, 27/10/11

Date: Thursday October 27th 2011
Time: 12pm-1pm

This free online event organised by ICAEW will help you to discover how you can develop key Non-Executive Director (NED) skills through a voluntary or charity trustee role.

You’ll hear from expert speakers from both a charity and trustee perspective.
