Governance training sessions are free of charge and are open to all board

community service organisations) that relate to the Uniting Church as part of the
UnitingCare network. Members of the Uniting Church Standing Committee and
Resources Board and other Church committees are also welcome. Not just for
newly appointed members, the training sessions are a great refresher for even the
most seasoned board members.
Presented by experienced professionals in their fields, over past years
feedback from participants has been extremely positive. The sessions are also a
great opportunity to network with members of other boards and
councils connected with the Uniting Church.
