Governing a Not-for-profit Organisation

FREE WORKSHOP

Whether you’re a new committee or board member or you’ve been doing it for a while, there is always more to learn about your legal responsibilities. In this popular training session, a lawyer from Justice Connect’s Not-for-profit Law will help you unpack the A-Z of governance.

You’ll learn about:

• What is the legal role of committee/board members as decision makers
• What is the difference between governance and management
• What are some common not-for-profit legal structures and charity status
• Why your organisation’s constitution and purpose are important
• Four key legal duties of committee/board members
• Potential liabilities and how to protect yourself and your organisation.

Who should attend?

New and current committee/board members and senior staff of not-for-profits.

Here’s what some of participants have said about this training:

• ’The training was fantastic – it was really well facilitated, really simply presented for the community with great interaction’
• ‘I feel more confident that I understand the scope of what I should know. Wish I did this 18 months ago when I joined the board!’
• ‘While I have had previous trainings about the same topic, this training really deepened my understanding.’
