Practical online governance training for people who’ve found themselves “on the committee”.

Governance Essentials is a practical two hour online session designed for committee members, boards, office bearers, incorporated associations and community organisations across regional Western Australia.

Most people involved in community governance have never received formal governance training, despite carrying important responsibilities and making decisions that affect organisations, funding, finances and communities.

This session breaks governance down into clear, plain English language so participants leave feeling more confident in their role, responsibilities and decision-making.

Designed to be practical, accessible and approachable, Governance Essentials focuses on helping participants understand how governance works in real-world community and not-for-profit settings - without the jargon.

Committee and board responsibilities
Governance obligations under the WA Incorporated Associations Act
AGMs, meetings and governance processes
Financial reporting and accountability basics
Conflicts of interest and good governance behaviours
Practical governance tips and common challenges
Time for questions and discussion

Who Should Attend:

Committee and board members
Incorporated associations
Community groups and not-for-profits

Emerging leaders stepping into governance roles
People wanting more confidence in governance and decision-making
