GOVERNANCE BITES are a series of free after-five events offering practical development opportunities in bite-sized pieces for 'time poor' and cash-strapped community leaders involved in non-profit boards in Canterbury, served up with pizza.

This session will cover "Getting the Right People on Board"

All you need to know about recruiting non-profit and community board members. What makes a good board member, where do you find them, and do you get them interested in your organisation? What are the three biggest traps in recruitment? And how do you get the most of new board members after they are on-board?

These sessions are led by Garth Nowland-foreman, an experienced trainer and facilitator, and non-profit governance expert. Garth is a director of LEAD Centre for Not for Profit Governance and Leadership www.lead.og.nz.

Please note: While the Governance Bites workshops run as a series, each session can be attended as a standalone workshop if desired. Please register for each session you are interested in via the Volunteering Canterbury listings.
