Stronger Boards connects museum trustees to share challenges, build networks, and develop strategic solutions across the Midlands.
Stronger Boards: being part of a museum’s board of trustees is a unique privilege and one that comes with challenges and expectations. For those fitting trusteeship in and around their lives outside of museums, it can be isolating too.
In 2026, the Stronger Boards programme will bring trustees and those working with trustees together to confront those challenges, finding pathways to the right strategic choices for your organisations, sharing learning and experiences, and building a supportive sector network within the Midlands.
Our first session is on Tuesday 7 July and will be open-themed for you to bring your thoughts and queries about trusteeship to the group.
This initial discussion will help shape the programme going forward. Your input will directly inform the key topics, priorities and format of future sessions, ensuring the workshop series reflects the real needs and interests of participants.
The event will be delivered via Zoom using a range of exercises and interactive features including Chat and Breakout Rooms, and will include a short break.
These events are fully funded through Arts Council England and are free to attend for those working in or with eligible museums in the Midlands.
