Club Goverance 101

Clubs vary enormously in their purpose, structure, size and level of complexity but in law – and its heart – every club is responsible for ensuring that the members of the Board or Committee work together, as a effective team, to achieve the Club’s Objectives in a way that is responsible, efficient and ethical.  

We’ll cut through the jargon and help you understand what it means to govern an organisation in an increasingly complex and regulated world without losing sight of what matters to your members. 

This module is the foundation for all the other modules in our Club Development Program.

Who should attend:

  • All Board or Committee members
  • Club Managers

What we’ll cover:

  • What the term ‘governance’ means 
  • The legal environment for licenses and unlicensed clubs in SA
  • The difference between governance and compliance
  • The role and responsibilities of the Committee as a whole
  • The roles and responsibilities of the individual Committee members
  • What good Club governance looks like
  • Red flags to watch out for
  • The essential tools every Committee needs in its Governance Toolkit.
