Workshop details:

What is good governance? Many people take their place on boards and committees to support their organisation and realise they need to know more about their roles. This workshop has been designed around the four functions of governance… 

• Strategic Direction
• Stewardship, including Fiduciary Responsibilities
• Stakeholder Relations and
• Self-Maintenance

…with the intent of giving trustees and board or committee members a general feel for the role of governance and a framework for what they need to know to be effective as board members.

There will be a workbook provided to support this workshop.
