Governance Bytes – Cheering on the Chairs

Jyn from Volunteer Marlborough

This month we present our tenth and final session in our Governance Bytes series – Cheering on the Chairs.
Being the Chair of a not-for-profit or community organisation can be a deeply rewarding, but also challenging role. The teams at Volunteer Marlborough and LEAD are dedicated to helping support you in your role by offering you the tools, tips, and tactics you need to lead from the front and develop a framework for making a difference in the community you have chosen to serve. In this workshop, we'll focus on the role of the Chair, including processes for building better board engagement.

Join us on Thursday, 16th November, at 6:15 pm.

Register online at volunteermarlborough.org.nz... (click the 'read more' button below)

This workshop will take place via Zoom (link will be sent out closer to the event).

Facilitated by Sandy Thompson of LEAD.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
