A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTS ORGANISATIONS TO DIVERSIFY THEIR BOARD

Our award-winning ADF Board Shadowing Programme is a first of its kind initiative, taking place in arts organisations across the UK. This unique programme offers the chance for arts organisations to meet potential culturally diverse board members and Organisations can assess their engagement, recruitment and board retention strategies. 

The ADF Board Shadowing programme is designed to demystify the roles and responsibility of the board, broker relationships with aspiring trustees and create an even playing field for near future opportunities. We have developed a unique package of support, including shadowing time, induction sessions, meet and greets, governance training, networking and evaluation to ensure that our members and host organisations gain a meaningful, informative, and valuable experience which will lead to positive changes for arts organisations and for the sector as a whole.
