"Get on Board": Understanding Volunteer Board Roles & Responsibilities
Event description
The Atlassian Foundation has engaged the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) to deliver “Get on Board!” training.
This workshop gives prospective board members an opportunity to hear about what becoming a board member would entail and skills to feel confident to apply for a position.

* Responsibilities of board members
* Fiduciary duties
* Governance versus management
