Location and travel
This role can be carried out from anywhere in the UK, with most Board business conducted online.
Trustees are expected to attend Board meetings and may occasionally be asked to attend sector events, including the HBA Annual Conference and Awards, meetings with stakeholders and visits to member organisations.
