Tours of the stores of National Galleries Scotland & National Museums Scotland. Join Conservators from National Galleries Scotland at the Granton Art Centre for a tour of their stores and to hear about the Arts Works project and future storage plans. With the opportunity for some informal networking, discussions about beginning a career pathway and issues affecting emerging professionals, the afternoon will continue with a tour of the National Museum of Scotland collection stores.

Do you have new trustees on your Board, or have you taken on a trustee role yourself? If so, this is an essential course for launching or refreshing your Board career. C&BS Head of Board Development, Catriona Reynolds, takes new trustees and Board members through their paces in two information-packed, hands-on sessions. Over the two three-hour online sessions, you’ll explore: duties of charitable trustees/board members; different roles and responsibilities of board members and staff; meeting management and decision-making; advocacy and fundraising responsibilities; the trustee’s role in strategic planning; understanding the finances. This will be useful for new trustees and Board members seeking an introduction to their roles and responsibilities.

Members of Historic Environment Scotland’s Heritage Team and Stirling Council will discuss how they manage change to Scotland’s built heritage, both in strategic terms as well as practical matters. This includes how proposals to alter listed buildings or build new developments in conservation areas are reviewed, considered and determined both fairly and transparently. A networking lunch will provide you with the opportunity to continue discussions and explore the Engine Shed.
