Opportunities
to join the Board of Trustees at The Parks Trust
by Laura Tarry
Are you passionate about Milton
Keynes and its parks, lakes and woods? Could you spare some time as a
volunteer? Would you like to contribute to your community? If so, we would like
to invite you to apply to become a Trustee for The Parks Trust.
The Parks Trust is a self-financing charity
that owns and cares for 5,000 acres of Milton Keynes’ parks and green spaces
and is looking for three new Trustees to join its Board in 2016.
Trustees are volunteers who are
responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Trust and ensuring it is
performing well.
David Foster, Chief Executive of The Parks Trust, said: “We are looking for people with the
right business acumen and skill set appropriate
to our organisation. We value all of our board and their commitment in their
three year term. We appreciate the knowledge and experience the volunteers
currently bring to the board. As part of our succession planning it is now time
for some of those Trustees to stand down and for new Trustees to be appointed.
“The Board of Trustees are responsible
for setting the strategic direction of the Trust and ensuring it performs
well. Due to the Trust’s significant role in the city’s future, being a
Trustee is a position of influence and great responsibility, now and for future
generations.”
This year we are particularly looking
to appoint people with knowledge and experience of:
·
Wildlife and Land Management
·
Business Management and financial
investment
·
Commercial property investment and
management
Trustees are people who care
passionately about Milton Keynes and who recognise the vital contribution the
parks and landscape make to the city’s prosperity, and the quality of life of
everyone living and working here. If you support our aims and are
prepared to give some of your time to this important role, we would like to
hear from you. The role of Trustee is interesting and rewarding and one in
which your knowledge and skills will be harnessed to make a really positive
contribution.
