Monica Smith Gooley, Treasurer/Board Member at Citizenship Advocacy Perth West Inc

Governance Foundations for NFP Directors, AICD (2021)

A wealth of information was gained from completing this course, including both theoretical and real life experiences from the presenter and other attendees. Since completing the course, I have already applied many 'best practices' to the Not-For-Profit where I work at a volunteer Board Member. It has also provided new insights on interactions with other Board Members and how to consider and engage various stakeholders of the organisation.
