Trustee

Being a trustee at IVAR is about more than governance oversight. We want a board of different voices and perspectives that will challenge our thinking and push us to be bolder With the support of the staff team and professional associates, trustees at IVAR are expected to: - Set and maintain the strategy and values. - Ensure IVAR complies at all times with its governing document, charity law, company law and any other relevant legislation or regulations. - Maintain proper financial control and ensure IVAR applies its resources exclusively in pursuit of its charitable objects, as defined in the governing documents. - Support the operational management of the charity. In addition to these, each trustee should use any specific skills, knowledge or experience they have to help the Board reach sound decisions. Trustees are also actively encouraged to become involved in specific projects outside of board meetings, drawing on their own networks and experience to help support staff in their work.
