Here's the workshop breakdown:
To kick off our workshop, we get back to the basics of governance and incorporated associations. It also acts as the perfect induction for welcoming new committee members who may or may not really understand what is involved. For experienced committee members, it's simply a great refresher.
The basics
PART 1
Now that we understand the basics, it's time to jump right into learning about brand management and leadership. Committee members come and go, but your organisation's brand remains. So, it's imperative that every committee member understands the importance of this.
Brand Management & Leadership
PART 2
The business operations of an incorporated association, are different to the operations of your business. In this part of the workshop, we unpack every single thing your committee needs to have in place so that it can operate the organisation, meet regulatory reporting requirements and serve its members.

PART 3
The final part of the workshop is focused on the reason why your organisation incorporated to begin with - strategy and advocacy. As you now know the basics, what your role entails, how to lead and how to operate - your committee can learn how to strategically advocate for its members whilst meeting its governance requirements (without the burn out).
