February 2020: Cracker calendar points the way
The 2020 Festival of Community Directors – a year-long celebration of community governance – has just kicked off with a packed calendar of professional development for not-for-profit leaders.
The festival, now in its second year, provides dozens of ways for community board members and staff to boost their skills, and this year’s events are more accessible, affordable and timely than ever.
Each themed week tackles a top priority for not-for-profits as identified by the Institute of Community Directors Australia's landmark Not-for-profit Governance Roadmap study.
Read more about the festival and the insight driving it inside, in a 48-page edition, which also features:
- Information about essential training that’s free or affordable
- Details of the Communities in Control conference
- Insights into how NFPs are countering bushfire devastation
- The latest guidance on whistleblowing and codes of conduct
- Case studies bringing you the highs and low of community boards, including answers from our "Agony Uncle"
- New trends in fundraising
As always, we know that being a good community director is hard work, and we’re dedicated to providing the tools to help you.
