Become a trustee

The Alliance Française Cambridge-Norwich-East-Anglia is a charity and is part of the Paris Fondation des Alliances Francaises, the world's largest language network with over 820 branches in 135 countries and the leading organisation for the teaching of French and promotion of Francophone cultures. The Alliance Française in Cambridge was created in 1982, and a branch in Norwich was later established, allowing the organisation to serve more communities across East Anglia. It is an exciting time to join the organisation

At present the Board comprises ten members, with backgrounds in secondary and higher education, IT, local business, consultancy and media. The Board meets six times a year and is responsible for ensuring good governance in keeping with the organisation's charity status and to support the Alliance team to deliver on its objectives for the future while staying in good financial health and serving local communities well. 

We will consider all expressions of interest, but we would particularly welcome applications that represent the diversity of the communities that the Alliance Française CEA. We will offer training to people who have not served as a charity trustee before. After a settling-in period, new members would be encouraged to apply their area of expertise to one of the sub-committees that feeds into the Board's work, in areas such as fundraising, marketing, finance or outreach for example
