Explore the roles and responsibilities of being a member of a Board or Management Committee.
If you have just been elected to a Board or Committee for the very first time, or have been on a Board for a short while and don't feel you are contributing as much as you could or should be, then this is the workshop for you.
Effective Board Members are people who understand the processes they are now part of - what you can and cannot do, what is correct, and what can be downright dangerous to the viability of the organisation.
