Between 2021 and 2022 MDEM ran two Succession Planning Programmes.
The programme aimed to support independent museums in the region to consider their future sustainability and to develop an inclusive approach to trustee recruitment.
Eyam Museum and Hinckley and District Museum were two museums which took part in the programme. As a result of their participation, they have developed plans for trustee recruitment and are considering how best to attract a wide range of people onto their boards.
