CPD
Hear from not-for-profit governance experts on the essential differences the NFP environment presents, including auditor and legal requirements and the not-for-loss imperative.
Not-for-profit governance requires special skills. It is a unique governance environment with its own legislation and its own financial requirements. However, it is also an environment very much underpinned by whanaungatanga – an environment where collaborative leadership is imperative and there are huge opportunities to support each other.
Join experienced chairs Dame Jo Brosnahan and Martin Snedden, together with professional advisor Jodi Newth of KPMG and Silvia McPherson of Dentons. They’ll talk about how to avoid pitfalls in the NFP space that can occur for even experienced directors, and how to create new opportunities for your board.
