Events
Our events are an opportunity to connect with a network of chairs and trustees to share, learn, and challenge and support one another. Our training is expertly designed to support chairs and trustees with the essentials of governance and board leadership. Chairing Essentials events are focused on all aspects of the chairing role, while Board Essentials events are for all board members.
