Enhancing Board Diversity and Expertise for the College of Radiography

Through a strategic recruitment approach focused on inclusivity and proactive headhunting, the College successfully appointed trustees who strengthened both the board’s governance and diversity.

“The College of Radiographers Board of Trustees had two vacancies to fill after the incumbents had completed their tenure. Previous recruitment campaigns had been moderately successful but with a limited number of applicants. We instructed Morgan Hunt to find trustees with legal and financial specialist knowledge. The recruitment campaign was managed by Principal Consultant Will Worthington who carefully followed the brief to find trustees from a diverse range of backgrounds. Will’s excellent communication skills were nuanced and thoughtful, keeping us informed at every stage of the process. The short list of candidates was of a very high calibre and selecting two proved to be a challenge. Will and colleague managed the entire process efficiently and professionally. I could not recommend them more highly.“
