Advisory Boards - Unlocking Success in Your Organisation

Having a great board of advisors is a powerful asset for your Rotary Club (or any organisation for that matter) to get objective advice, identify unexplored opportunities, open new doors and increase profitability and sustainability.

This workshop covers what you need to know in order to establish an effective Advisory Board from inception to succession. Unlike corporate boards, advisory boards do not have fiduciary responsibility and their advice is non-binding.

Topics include:

• The importance of governance in organisations
• How to setup an effective advisory board
• Choosing the right people for the board
• Setting objectives, expectations and compensation
• Planning for Meetings
• Running effective board meetings
• Best practice communication strategies

This workshop is suitable for:
Business owners, board members or directors of organisations wanting to learn how to setup or be a part of an advisory board to help their organisation grow.
