The trustee’s perspective

An effective relationship between your charity’s property manager and their trustees helps your portfolio to work harder. Get it wrong and even the small decisions turn into insurmountable issues. In this session we get the first hand view of a charity trustee chair with substantial property experience, who will help us unravel the challenges that a trustee faces in this area, and what we can do to make the relationship work.
