Reminder: Not for Profit Governance Essentials Course - 25th February 2022

In this one-day course you will learn the roles and responsibilities of the board and directors from a not-for-profit perspective. This course provides an opportunity for anyone on a not-for-profit board to gain a confident grasp of robust board processes, good decision-making, and board operations in a Not For Profit context.

Who should attend?

Anyone working with not-for-profit boards who wants to develop their understanding of governance in a not-for-profit environment.

It is a perfect course for those who have found themselves in a board role and are not quite sure what is expected of them.

Your Investment

This special course is usually offered at a reduced rate of $500, however, with the generous support of the Otago Community Trust we are able to offer this course at $120 per attendee (inc. GST) and it is available to members and non-members of the Institute of Directors.

This is a wonderful opportunity to access specialist, sector specific governance training at a much discounted rate.
