Bench to Boardroom

Councils work with a wide range of community committees.

Sporting clubs, not-for-profits, advisory groups and local organisations. And one of the most consistent challenges across all of them is the same.

The people on those committees are willing and committed. But most of them were never told what the role actually requires.

They carry legal duties they may not know about. They are not always clear on the line between governance and operations. And when something goes wrong, the accountability question is harder to answer than it should be.

We, CPRG, are running Bench to Boardroom, a free webinar that can help:

On Tuesday 28 July at 12pm AEST, Matthew McEwan and Scott Henry are hosting Bench to Boardroom, a practical session on what committee membership actually involves and how to build committees that govern well.

Here is what attendees will walk away knowing:

• The difference between governing an organisation and managing its operations
• How to clarify committee roles so everyone understands where their responsibilities begin and end
• Common governance mistakes and how to avoid them
• How to run more productive, focused committee meetings
• Practical tools committees can start using straight away

This session is relevant for Council staff who sit on committees, as well as for the community organisations and groups your Council supports.
