Governing for passion and purpose – how do I get started? What does good governance look like? What is the focus for governance in the NFP sector?
Join our panel of directors for this informal and interactive “Ask Me Anything” event. This is your opportunity to ask those burning questions you have about governance in the Not For Profit sector. Our panel at this event will be Clare Kearney, Deborah Manning and Stephanie Pettigrew and will be chaired by Trish Oakley. Numbers are strictly limited to enable good interaction with the group.
