We have a vacancy from September on our Board of Trustees.

We're looking for someone with a passion for performing arts education who can join our board with special responsibility as secretary.

The charity secretary, as well as being a full trustee of NAPA, is primarily responsible for the smooth and efficient running of meetings of the trustee board, providing assistance and support to the Chair of the Board of Trustees.

You'll compile minutes, board papers and agendas and make sure everything runs smoothly and as a trustee will help to shape the future of NAPA at this crucial and exciting time in our development.

We're looking for someone with experience of minute taking, an organised and efficient individual with good listening, oral and literacy skills. Trustee or governance experience would be an added bonus but is not essential.

Meetings are held around six times a year at NAPA. We're a friendly bunch who share the goal to make sure that NAPA is around for generations to come and continues to develop and grow.

If you would like to find out more about joining our board, please email your contact details with an outline of why you'd like to volunteer to [email protected] by 1st August 2024.

Thank you!
