Webinar
To pay or not to pay your directors
With rising living costs, is volunteering becoming a privilege only some can afford? Could paying directors improve diversity, inclusion, and the skills around the table, or would it change the culture of volunteering altogether?
In this 45-minute webinar, we explored the key questions boards are grappling with:
- Fees, honorariums, or simple reimbursement?
- How cost-of-living pressures shape who can serve
- What funders and stakeholders might think
- And whether payment strengthens or strains good governance
If this is a conversation your board needs to have, or you’re unsure how to navigate it, then this webinar for a practical, thoughtful discussion.
