Governance insights

Applying for board positions for the first time? A course in governance could help you stand out as a candidate. It’s a sign that you’re committed to being an effective part of the team.

Big-picture wisdom

Corporate and not for profit (NFP) governance has been in the headlines a lot recently. Whether it’s the sensationalist stuff about board members’ pay, or the growing trend towards higher standards of corporate social responsibility, people have got some serious opinions.  If you’re about to take the next step up and get involved in a board, you’ve probably got a lot of questions.

A course in governance will give you the framework you need to solve problems yourself. In collaboration with the rest of your team. For example, you’ll learn about organisational strategic planning.

Make a difference to a cause you’re passionate about

Love volunteering, but want to make an even bigger difference? You could shape the future of a charity or non-profit you love, as a volunteer board member. There are hundreds of vacancies across the country, in different areas from healthcare and disability advocacy to employment services and community arts.

Your next steps

Ready to kick off your career (or side gig) in governance? Monarch’s governance series is an effective way to learn from experienced board members and executives who’ve already been where you want to go.
