Become a Trustee
We are looking for trustees to join our board and provide strategic direction, governance, and oversight of the activity of the charity. There are four trustee meetings each year and membership of a sub-committee will involve a further 2-3 meetings annually; ad hoc briefing sessions or meetings for a particular purpose would mean there is likely to be some engagement every month.
Who we are looking for
CLF is looking for people with a strong interest in books, live events or complimentary cultural/artistic activity who want to play a part in promoting literature for learning and enjoyment. Work experience in the arts, education sector, marketing, digital or fundraising would be of particular interest as are all backgrounds which will help increase the diversity of thinking and our programming.
If you are interested we would love to hear from you.
Please write in the first instance to jeremy@cambridgeliteraryfestival.com enclosing a short CV and covering letter.
