Gov101 – Introduction to the Duties of a Director

Thinking about becoming a director or trustee? Maybe you already are and want to brush up on your knowledge and skills? When is the right time to set up a governance board? How well are we doing in governance terms?

Facilitated by TorquePoint's Simon Ewing-Jarvie and Hon Heather Roy, this half-day course is for anyone considering becoming a director, about to join a board, or those who have recently become a director in either commercial or not-for-profit settings. .

The session covers:

• Governance vs management
• Strategy vs Operations
• Board and CEO (or GM or MD) relationship
• Duties of a director including legislative and regulatory obligations
• Board papers – getting the information you need to make good decisions
• Assessing Risk
• Budget processes
• Managing conflicts of interest
• Good board practice – policies and procedures
