The Role of Trustees
South East Dance is 25 years old this year and this is an exciting time to join us as we start a new chapter extending our offer for local people, communities, and dance artists in The Dance Space.
Our Board of Trustees are highly engaged and bring a wide range of expertise. They oversee all aspects of our work, help ensure we maintain the highest standards in all areas of our activity and support our strategic development.
We are looking to expand our Board of Trustees, and are keen to hear from new voices to enhance our expertise in the following areas. You do not need to tick all of these boxes; if you have knowledge/experience in any one of these areas we would love to hear from you.
- Developing Audiences
- Nurturing Artists
- Fundraising
- Human Resource management
- Arts and Cultural building and venue management
- Business networks in Brighton & Hove and the South East
- Legal, Intellectual Property and Data management
- Environment/Climate emergency mitigation
You will join a welcoming, committed and skilled group of Trustees who champion and advocate for our work locally and regionally, sharing our passion for dance and the contribution it can make to health, wellbeing and placemaking. Trustees make the key strategic decisions and are involved in monitoring South East Dance’s progress, impact, and contribution to Brighton and the Southeast region, while fulfilling their governance responsibilities. They work to their individual strengths in the interest of the organisation and contribute to the wider discussion and decision making.
