And during that week we\u2019ll be holding a short workshop to explore what \u2018good governance\u2019 means and how you and your board can work towards it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cGovernance Challenge Workshop\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday 15th November, 2pm-4pm at VANEL offices.<\/p>\n<p>Free to attend for anyone connected to a VANEL Member or Friend organisation.  But places limited, book first via Karl Elliott (<a href=\"mailto:\/\/karl@vanel.org.uk\">karl@vanel.org.uk<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not training &#8211; but rather a workshop facilitated conversation where we can explore a couple of questions to challenge ourselves and our boards:<\/p>\n<p>Q: can our governance be better?<\/p>\n<p>Q: does it need to be better?<\/p>\n<p>Q: what do I\/we need to do to make it better?<\/p>\n<p>Do we stay where we are with the quality and effectiveness of our governance approaches or should we be aspiring to be doing it a bit differently and better?  If so, how do we know what we should do? What is the real benefit (if any?) How do we start along the process of improvement knowing how busy we all are and how many other things there are to do!<\/p>\n<p>A couple of key resources we\u2019ll be discussing are the new \u201cCharity Governance Code\u201d &#8211; a framework for assessing good governance against recognised best practices, and the newly reworked \u201cEssential Trustee\u201d setting out our fundamental requirements as trustees.<\/p>\n<p>So join us at our workshop for an interesting and productive discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Karl to enquiry or to book.
