What is this training about?
This workshop looks at corporate governance for members and directors of corporations. It provides an introduction to the key aspects of running a corporation well such as:
- you and your corporation
- corporate structure
- principles of good governance
- roles and responsibilities of directors, members and staff
- the rule book
- financial management.

The workshops run for three days, 8.30 to 4.30 pm each day.
You must attend all three days of training to receive a certificate of attendance and be eligible to apply for our accredited courses. You will need support from your family, corporation and community for the time away from your usual duties and responsibilities.
