Introduction to Board Governance for not-for-private-profit Enterprises
Introduction to Board Governance for ‘not-for-private-profit’ Enterprises The aim of this half-day workshop (9.30-12.30) is to give Board Members of charities, social enterprises and other VCS groups an introduction to good governance through an overview of the topic. By the end of the workshop participants will feel confident they know what is expected of them and how they can develop their own skills, knowledge and understanding in the role in future. For new or prospective Board Members, this workshop will provide a ‘lightning tour’ of good governance and for the more experienced, a good refresher that will support improved Board performance. In the afternoon there is a further workshop on Risk Management for Board Members of ‘not-for-private-profit’ Organisations. The aim of this workshop is to give directors of social enterprises, and trustees of charities, a thorough grounding in the area of risk management, and to equip them with the understanding and tools to put a risk management policy – and processes - in place. The workshop will use a case study, based on a typical not-for-profit organisation, to demonstrate some obvious and less obvious risks. For new or more experienced Board Members, this workshop will provide an introduction to risk management and the foundations needed to ensure good practice in this important area of governance.
