Governance Training: Governance Fundamentals and Best Practices for the Not-For-Profit sector

Are you part of a board of directors?  Then this workshop is for you.  Just listen to this testimonial from a previous attendee of the workshop.

I was in your full day training ~5 years ago and thought it was the best training and that EVERY board member should take it.


Workshop Overview

Governance Fundamentals and Best Practices for the Not-For-Profit sector

The workshop will cover the following:

  • Function of governance
  • Role of the board
  • Duties of directors

The workshop will involve detailed presentations, hand out materials and interactive Q & A
sessions to ensure you leave the workshop with a good grounding in the basics of governance
as well as practical takeaways to apply at your next Not-For-Profit board meeting.
