Risk Management for not-for-profit organisation (Webinar)
The risks facing associations continue to grow more complex as new risks emerge. The effects of risks on the ability of Associations to support and service its members, while continuing as a sustainable and financially viable organisation are key strategic questions.
The fiduciary duties for Association Boards, as relating to care and diligence, includes assessing risk exposure and oversight of the risk management processes. Association management must proactively control and mitigate risks but also respond to opportunities as guided by the Board's risk tolerance (appetite).
In this webinar we will explore the types of risks that Associations should consider, approaches to governance and management of these risks, the link between risk/opportunity and strategy, and practical steps in using risk management tools.
Registrations: Free and exclusive to Associations Forum members and not-for-profit associations
