Climate champion trustee at Museums Association

The Museums Association is seeking a trustee to join our board as a climate champion for a three year term.

We are a small independent charity that campaigns for museums to change lives and has a vision of inclusive, participatory and sustainable museums at the heart of their communities.

We know that the climate crisis is having a devastating impact on our planet and we believe that museums can play a critical role in raising awareness, changing behaviour and championing change with our communities.

A core aim in our Strategic Framework is to campaign for museums to address the climate crisis and we are seeking a trustee with experience in this area to join our board.

Becoming a trustee is a great opportunity to help us to develop new policy and advocate to governments across the UK and other stakeholders on behalf of museums. Our board is made up of a diverse group of people who work in and with museums. The board works closely with the senior management team to deliver our strategic aims.

The role is unremunerated but expenses are reimbursed.

The closing date for applications is 11.59pm on 27 October 2024.

Please send your completed application form and equality and diversity monitoring form to charlotte.eyles@museumsassociation.org with subject heading ‘Climate champion trustee’.

Interviews will be held online on Wednesday 27 November 2024.

If you would like to get in touch with the MA’s president about the role, please contact Charlotte Eyles via charlotte.eyles@museumsassociation.org.

We are actively seeking and welcome applications from people from a range of diverse backgrounds, particularly people with disabilities, people of colour, people who identify as LGBTQ+ and people from a range of socio-economic and educational backgrounds.
