Principles of Association Governance

As associations are “owned” by members, understanding the governance relationships between members, the Board of Directors and management is vital. This practical one-hour webinar will cover:

• The importance of being incorporated and relevant legislation

• Why the structure and scope of an association matter

• Responsibilities and authority of the Board of Directors

• Key documents - especially Articles of Association

• Best practice in running Boards
