The course consists of five sessions of two hours each that have been designed to build knowledge, skills and confidence in the chairs of community organisations. It is suitable for leaders who are already serving in the role of chair, as well as those who aspire to the position.
The sessions will cover:
- Visionary leadership – ensuring your vision and purpose are at the centre of governance
- Backstage and front of house: using both to make good decisions
- The chair’s relationship with the CEO
- Strategic funding: Developing your case for support
- Ethical board leadership
Participants will learn alongside other community sector leaders, in sessions designed to enable them to connect and network with their community sector peers.
Participants who complete all five sessions will receive a Certificate in Advanced Leadership for Community Chairs, a micro-credential accredited by the Institute of Community Directors Australia.
