BoardMatch Live!
Our Annual Board Recruitment event
takes place in October every year,
Our 2026 has just concluded and
we are now planning our 2027 event!
BoardMatch Live (formerly known as Charity Trustee Speed-Dating) is an opportunity for individuals to meet with charities and not-for-profit organisations who have board vacancies. This is the perfect event for anyone who is interested in volunteering their skills, time and expertise to a cause they are passionate about.
This is the first step on your charity board journey.
Who should attend?
This event is open to all registered Irish Charities and Not-for-Profits, and any individual looking to volunteer on a not-for-profit or charity board.
-
All attending charities or not-for-profits must be registered with either the Charities Regulator, or the Companies Registration Office. This is an opportunity to meet potential board members face-to-face, and be certain that everyone you speak to has a genuine interest in joining a charity board.
-
This event is open to any individual looking to join a not-for-profit or charity board, in a voluntary capacity. Joining a not-for-profit board is a great way to give back to a cause you are passionate about by sharing your skills, expertise, and time, as well as upskilling yourself.
