We are back with our fifth annual Dublin event connecting charities and not-for-profits with potential board members.

This is a unique chance to meet in person with dozens of interested individuals who are looking for a charity board role, promote your organisation and hopefully make lasting connections that result in new board appointments.
The ticket fee includes attendance for two representatives from your organisation and we would encourage at least one of these attendees to be a member of the Board.
Hear from a previous charity attendee:
“I highly recommend this event to any charity seeking to recruit voluntary board trustees. It was so well organised and the quality of candidates in attendance was incredible. We were lucky enough to recruit four trustees on the night and are already planning to return next year.” - Valerie Hogan, Interim CEO, @empowerment_plus

We all know the benefits of volunteering with a charity - gaining a sense of fulfilment, enhancing your social network, developing your leadership and organisational skills, and much more!
Volunteering your time by serving as a trustee on a charity board is another fantastic way to contribute to the impact and sustainability of a organisation you are passionate about, by having a direct role and responsibility for the governance and operations of a charity, and gaining valuable professional experience along the way.
Charity and not-for-profit boards across all charitable areas, from arts and culture to homelessness and healthcare, are crying out for enthusiastic candidates - like you - who are keen to make a difference.
This #NationalVolunteeringWeek come and meet 25 of Cork's excellent charities and not-for-profits with open board vacancies and see how you could have a positive impact by volunteering your time and skills on a charity board.
