21. Bushra Ahmed - Why Charity Board Compositions Will Need to Evolve

Bushra Ahmed's journey to the boardroom was an unexpected and unconventional one. Having lost her family business in the 2011 England riots, Bushra mobilised to raise awareness and funding for those affected by the event. 

Rising to become a charity sector trustee for organisations like the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales, the Sheila McKechnie Foundation and Home-Start UK, Bushra is a shining example of how charity boards can benefit from differing perspectives and lived experiences. 

Now Bushra joins Nurole CEO Oliver Cummings for a discussion of her board journey and what she describes as a reckoning for not-for-profit boards where compositions, recruitment methods and onboarding will need to evolve to reflect the changing realities of charitable giving.
