Hello there,

We've all survived the extraordinary heatwave and now Autumn is here with leaves falling from trees, torrential rain and the grand reopening of schools. We even gained another Prime Minister since we last spoke who is head of a government where, for the first time in British history, none of the top jobs are held by white men!

We're getting in touch because we have some exciting events coming up that we know you won't want to miss out on, events that will inspire you to take the next step in your leadership journey toward an equal, diverse and inclusive economy. Read on to find out how you can register for In Trustees We Trust and our Diversity of Thought speaker series...

Before you do, we'd like to acknowledge the sad news of our Queen's death. For many of us she has always been there, a constant figure and it has sometimes felt as if she always would be. it's a profound change for our country and a great loss to her loved ones and to us all.

CONGRATULATIONS

NEWS

A new report from Bristol Creative Industries (BCI) has found that creative businesses in Bristol and the wider region need more support than ever before to help them to compete on the global stage.

Welcomed by the West of England's Metro Mayor Dan Norris, he commented that...

"This report is timely and welcome. Bristol, Bath and the wider West of England is rich with creative talented people, but the pandemic hit many working in the sector hard... The West of England is a region of innovation and creativity, and I’m determined that the right support is in place to allow our region to flourish".

You can read the report in full here where you will find contributions from BeOnBoard Executive Director Julz Davis who sits on the Bristol Creative Industries Board on page 39. For those who don't have time to read the full report, here's what Julz has to say...

"It's a business imperative that we as a creative industry reflect the world in which we live. It's about diversity in its broadest sense – covering social and economic factors too. To stay relevant and in tune with our target audiences and ultimately, to get ahead of our competitors, we need to recruit talent from all walks of life, from many different and diverse cultural and social-economic backgrounds.

"Building strong relationships at a grassroots level with schools, colleges and universities will help. Offering apprenticeships and internship opportunities can also go a long way to addressing EDI in the creative sector."

We'll be in touch again soon with more news and board opportunities. In the meantime, don't hesitate to get in touch with your questions at info@beonboard.co.uk
