It’s AGM time again and you maybe planning to engage new board members for your organisation or need to refresh current board members skills.

The Good Governance; Essential Board training is a great foundation for new board members and has been updated to include amendments to the Associations Incorporation Act (2009) and the new Regulation (2016) that began on 1 September 2016. If you have already attended this training you may like to refer a friend or colleague to the training.

In response to a number of requests we have also designed a Fabulous Finances course for board members covering understanding financial reports, budgeting, and risk and fraud prevention. This training is a must for all board members – not just Treasurers.

The Foundations of Facilitation training is on next week. Whether you are chairing board meetings, groups or simply meeting to plan a project, the skills you learn in this training will enable you to become a dynamic facilitator.
