Good governance means complying with the law and legal duties, and carrying out the governance role in the best interests of the community organisations. When thinking about good governance, it includes many aspects, such as:
- how meetings are held;
- who is on your board and what skills they have;
- how new committee members are inducted;
- how frequently the board meets;
- how new staff are hired;
- what is its communication strategy;
- and more…
There are many online tools and resources available to help community organisations improve their governance.
