Digital Trustees; Curve Session

Digital Trustees: Strengthening Boards in a Digital Age Charities today face massive digital challenges, from cybersecurity and AI to hybrid working and digital fundraising. But bringing digital skills to your board isn’t about finding a volunteer to fix your printer, build a CRM, or manage your social media. It’s about securing strategic governance for the digital age. Hosted by Third Sector Lab in partnership with OSCR (the Scottish Charity Regulator), this practical session breaks down how having a digital expert on your board helps your charity make better data-driven decisions, value its digital assets, and navigate complex compliance issues. What You Will Learn: * The true role of a Digital Trustee: Why they act as strategic mentors focused on user journeys, rather than operational IT support. * Digital governance is collective: Why compliance, data security, and cyber resilience are the responsibility of the entire board. * Real-world impact: Hear firsthand from the CEO and Digital Trustee of the Scottish Seabird Centre on how they successfully embedded digital fluency at the board level. * Practical first steps: How to use digital benchmarking tools to pinpoint your focus for the year and assess your staff's baseline digital skills.
