Chairperson Vacancy

Cornwall National Landscape (AONB) Trust

Cornwall National Landscape (AONB) Trust

The Cornwall National Landscape Trust – Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) is looking to appoint a chairperson to support the Trustees of the charity.

The role of trustee will involve guiding the CIO through the development of commercial opportunities to generate income to support long term investment and ultimately provide the Cornwall National Landscape team with an independent future and access to funds currently unavailable to the Cornwall National Landscape as a public body.

Each trustee will provide their personal expertise, be it from senior management and leadership, financial management, small business development, environmental/landscape management or a marketing and communications background as these are all complimentary skills we feel would be suited to setting up and managing the CIO effectively and efficiently.

Working closely with the Cornwall National Landscape team the CIO will be the conduit for developing future commercial opportunities to provide financial stability and generate opportunities to support the work of the Cornwall National Landscape team.
