Re Small Black Cat in Albany Westfield Mall Carpark

Lynda from Albany

Hi there is a small build black cat, i believe all black but couldn't get too close. It was in the underground carpark at Albany mall last night looking very lost. It doesn't particularly look like a stray cat. If you have lost a black cat it may be worth a look.

The demands on governance boards of not-for-profit organisations have never been higher with increased accountability, compliance, risk management, funding pressures and HR management.

Governance boards need to bring a variety of skills and networks to the board table. They have to ensure delivery of their core service within a complex regulatory environment whilst still being able to think strategically and collaboratively. It is a demanding role to be done on a voluntary basis. In addition, boards and CEOs or Managers have to work as a strong leadership team to take their organisation to the next level.

This session will explore the delineation of roles and responsibilities and by doing so, how these relationships can work most effectively.

NOTE: This workshop is ideal for two or more people from one organisation, preferably a combination of management and governance board members.
