A governance professional can wear many hats, and having the right skill set to progress in your career is crucial for achieving success and enhancing job satisfaction. To build a career in governance a combination of education, skills, experience, networking, and a passion for promoting ethical practices and effective decision-making within organisations is required. Join us for an empowering half-day summit designed exclusively for Graduates, new Associates, and early-career professionals venturing into the world of governance. Discover valuable insights and strategies to unleash your potential and pave a successful path in governance. At this event, you will: • Explore how modern technology and digital tools can support career development, improve effectiveness and enhance your professional impact. • Develop practical approaches to communicating with confidence, building trusted relationships, demonstrating initiative and influencing different audiences. • Learn about the different routes into governance, including graduate and trainee opportunities, career changes, transferable skills and professional qualifications. • Gain practical tips for securing your next role, from identifying suitable opportunities and presenting your experience to networking and preparing for applications and interviews.

Many governance professionals and leaders work across both corporate and charitable settings, bringing valuable perspectives from each. In this Trustee Week fireside chat, we will explore the similarities and differences between company boards and trustee boards, reflecting on what each can learn from the other.

Effective boards require more than technical expertise. They rely on the right mix of skills, behaviours, perspectives and participation to make sound decisions and fulfil their responsibilities. This flagship Trustee Week webinar will explore the findings of CGIUKI's Modern Trustee research and consider what organisations can do to build stronger, more inclusive and more effective boards.

What does effective trusteeship look like in today's governance environment? As part of Trustee Week 2026, join us for an informal fireside conversation with an experienced trustee who has led and served boards across a range of organisations. This session will explore the realities of modern trusteeship, including the opportunities, responsibilities and challenges facing trustees today.
