In association with Volunteering Canterbury, LEAD Director Garth Nowland-Foreman hosts monthly Governance Bites sessions.

These are a series of free after-five events, offering practical development opportunities in bite-sized pieces for time poor and cash-strapped community leaders, served up with pizza.

This month’s topic is: The Secret of Better Board Meetings

As they say, it’s easy to ‘take minutes and waste hours’. Typical Agendas actually make good meetings more difficult, and who knows the difference between individual decision-making vs the group decision-making needed on boards? Can we be more efficient at our meetings? Maybe even more effective? And perhaps even actually enjoy them? It’s all possible and this participatory workshop will offer several practical tools to help make it happen.

When: 5:15pm – 7:00pm, Tuesday 19 April
Venue: Christchurch Community House, 301 Tuam Street, Christchurch
Cost: No charge thanks to generosity of Rata Foundation
RSVP: outreach@volcan.org.nz. Please note, while the Governance Bites workshops run as a series, each session can be attended as a standalone workshop if desired. Please indicate which session/s you are interested in when registering.
