Governance<br />
G<br />
Governance<br />
Governance is an over-arching responsibility and lies within the remit of the<br />
board, company directors, management committee or trustees. Quality<br />
governance requires that the board pay attention to the checks and balances<br />
of the organisation as well as thinking creatively about plans for the future.<br />
It requires due diligence with regard to legal matters and compliance issues,<br />
<strong>resources</strong> and finance. Those charged with governance need access to relevant<br />
information - about both practices and principles - to assist them to reflect<br />
on, understand and manage the challenges they face. These areas include:<br />
defining board members’ duties and responsibilities, incorporation, constitutions,<br />
development of strategic plans, recruitment, and succession planning.<br />
Board Connect<br />
Board Connect is an initiative of Positive Solutions supported by <strong>Arts</strong> Queensland to assist<br />
board members with advice and information and encourage best practice in governance.<br />
Its services include training initiatives, round-tables and information including fact sheets,<br />
publications and websites.<br />
