Hundreds of non-profit organisations have benefited from our specialised board training programs. We have delivered public, open programs in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Management, Australia Business Arts Foundation (click here for 2009 ABAF Board Development workshop dates) and other agencies, and we have delivered customised in-house programs for organisations throughout Australia. Our programs include, typically:
- the role of the board
- legal responsibilities
- board-CEO relationships
- effective board meetings
- the board’s involvement in planning, advocacy and fund-raising
- succession planning
- trouble-shooting
A list of some of our board training clients is available here.
Positive Solutions also undertakes board evaluations or assessments, to enable non-profit organisations to focus on improvements to board practice. We have undertaken assessments for education, welfare and other organisations.
The Book of the Board, recently published in its second edition, remains the most comprehensive guide for board members of non-profit organisations in Australia. Authored by David Fishel, Director of Positive Solutions, the Book has also generated specialised ‘spin-off’ guides in the fields of tourism and the arts.
