Diversifying Arts Board conference consists of a series of talks, discussions and workshops designed to develop good recruitment and onboarding practices that will improve the representation of people of colour in trustee positions. The conference will bring together key senior staff from theatre organisations (including dance and opera) and ADF individual members, specifically trustees and the selected participants on the Board Shadowing Programme. The online conference will take place weekly online for five weeks to allow participants adequate time in-between sessions to reflect, share learning and work on their short. mid and long term action plan.
During the conference, representatives from each organisation will be required to submit their completed SMART action plans, outlining their commitment to take measurable, meaningful steps towards a more equitable, inclusive and relevant organisation. The action plan will cover:
- Advertising and Recruitment
- Chair Recruitment
- Ongoing engagement and Leadership Sharing
- Visibility of Boards
- Induction and Retention of New Trustees
- Talent Pool and internal Development & Promotion
- Advocacy
- Profile Reputation
