Presenter: Carol Scholes
Day & Date: Tuesday, 3 August
Time: 9:00am
Venue: Studio 4, Te Tuhi, 13 Reeves Road, Pakuranga, Auckland.

Session 1 will explore the new expectations of boards of not for profits including the important strategic leadership role. Part A will cover an easy way to understand the role of the board compared to management including the legal responsibilities of board members. In Part B of the session, we will discuss the role of the board in strategy and how to ensure the organisation has a plan that gives clarity and can respond to the changing environment.

Session 2 (OPTIONAL) follows lunch, and is a time where Carol can give more personalised/group assistance and input as you and your group work on or consider your own Plans and Strategy and consider your group's Governance needs and requirements. A great time to follow up the first session with some practical application and an opportunity to ask Carol some questions.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
