Bow Valley Non-Profits

Webinar: Board Roles & Responsibilities, how they are related and how they will help your board improve its governance on July 22.

What is governance? What are the board’s roles? What are the board’s responsibilities?

The truth is, there is no one answer to any of these questions. Learn about governance from different perspectives, including what it means to the board.

Learn how governance touches the entire organization, the structure of the organization, and the volunteers and staff that work in the organization.

You will also have many opportunities to speak directly with others and share your experiences, test your knowledge, and ask your questions to the presenters.

By the Government of Alberta, Community Engagement Branch.
