Blog: Doing something about the Davids
|
|
|
The Lab is proud to have a strong and relatively diverse board of trustees but like most organisations there is more we can do to embed the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice into all we do. This is why last year we changed our board recruitment process to look for what we’ve called ‘trustees-in-training’ as well as trustees. It's a move intended to open up our board to people passionate about our work, but who might not otherwise have applied for or been directly appointed as a trustee.
This blog from Lab COO Rebecca Sumner Smith and Chair of Trustees Kit Beazley explains more. Read it in full here.
