Governance Foundations for NFP Directors - AICD (2021)
The course provided a fantastic opportunity to learn the skills and tools required to be an effective Board Director in the NFP sector. I thoroughly enjoyed the course content as it was specific to the NFP space and it also provided an opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded leaders and professionals looking to make a difference in the community.
