Governance Express Series: What’s coming up in the BOP

We know how hard it can be to juggle everyday commitments with volunteering as a trustee.  So when someone says you should get along to workshops on top of that, sometimes it’s just not practical.  That’s why we’ve created a series of short, express-style Governance workshops to fit in with busy schedules. These workshops are designed around the topics we most get asked about most and allow your Board to upskill in small steps.

Thanks to Bay Trust, these 2-hour workshops cost just $30 per person, per session for Bay of Plenty organisations, and are being run right across the Bay of Plenty.  There is no order in which you have to attend, and you can attend as many or as a few sessions as you choose.
