Board Roles and Responsibilities Workshop (Online)
Undertaking the role of Director (sometimes called Councillor or Committee Member) within an association Board is a considerable yet manageable responsibility. This workshop will look at the legal framework for associations under the Corporations Act, state and territory Associations Incorporation Acts and the ACNC Act, Board roles and responsibilities under the common law and statute, as well as practical tips on the role of being a Director.
This will be a practical session based on our extensive experience of association governance. Questions are welcome throughout this online event.
