The LAUNCH: Clayton Utz Travelling Arts Scholarship (developed and managed by Positive Solutions) has helped launch yet another promising Queensland artist into the next stage of their career...

On Thursday 4th June, approximately 100 people attended an event to mark the conclusion of the pilot BoardConnect program.  Gathered on the newly refurbished stage of the Concert Hall at QPAC, the participants heard Premier and Arts Minister Anna Bligh announce continued funding for a groundbreaking program that gives advice and support to arts and cultural boards.

BoardConnect will receive support over the next two years to continue working with Queensland's arts organisations in order to strengthen their governance by providing professional development and support services.

The much anticipated second edition of The Book of the Board by Positive Solutions’ director David Fishel is now available for purchase. The book, published by Federation Press is an invaluable handbook for boards and board members of non-profit organizations. The second edition, while retaining an overall structure similar to the first edition, has been fully revised and updated to reflect developments in the non-profit environment.
