RETURNING to Marlborough: Governance Bytes
RETURNING to Marlborough this year - the hugely popular Governance Bytes series!
Volunteer Marlborough wants to help strengthen the leadership of community and not-for-profit organisations in the Marlborough region. To do this, we are teaming up with the very knowledgeable facilitators from LEAD (@lead.org.nz) to bring back the Governance Bytes online workshops for those on boards or those who might wish to move into governance roles.
We’re kicking off with the first session – Governance 101 – on Thursday, 16th February, from 1 pm. This is a 3-hour daytime workshop to start the series and will increase your understanding of not-for-profit governance, clarify the roles and tasks of the Board, and promote teamwork in the board room.
This session will cover:
• Governance and management defined
• How boards can add value...and common pitfalls
• 4 Key functions of the not-for-profit board
• The roles and tasks of the board
• Organising for effectiveness - getting things done and focusing on what matters most
• Responsibilities of individual board members

💙 Note: All subsequent workshops will take place monthly, in the evenings from 6:15pm to 7:45pm via Zoom.
