Our Board Talks topics, panel guests and more!
Community Governance Aotearoa has just wrapped up a successful and insightful
2022 Board Talk series thanks to our expert panellists, sponsors, and participants.
Rose Hiha-Agnew was joined by from some of Aotearoa’s most inspiring not-for-profit leaders.
During these bi-monthly sessions, we had fantastic kōrero and each guest panellist generously
shared their unique insights. Board Talks was designed to showcase topical issues designed to help you on your governance journey.
We kicked off our Board Talk series in February with “Don’t Just Rely on the Treasurer”. This was
a great reminder that all board members are obligated to understand the financial side of the organisation, and a good reminder that asking questions is important, if in doubt, ask!
The April Board Talk on “Governance Pathways and What it Takes to be a Board Member” is a
must-watch as it includes a rich variety of ways to gain helpful governance experience and for
those searching for new roles!
Mid way through the year our June Board Talk ”digital and cyber security” was a great overview
of the online risks we may face, and how we can better protect ourselves and our organisations,
lots of resources were shared in this talk.
In our October and November Board Talks, we explored what it means to have diversity on boards and raised questions about how we honour Te Tiriti in our governance. Both talks are excellent starting point for further discussion with your board members.
Our final 2022 session “Governance vs. Management” had similar themes to our April Board Talk on governance pathways about the relationship between operational and governance roles within any organisation.
For each Board Talk we have prepared a summary factsheet that includes relevant links to
resources discussed. We extend a warm thank you to our sponsors, Havana Coffee Works, who provided a special gift to each guest panellist.
On behalf of all of us here from Community Governance Aotearoa, thank you for bringing along a coffee, listening in and engaging with us!
