Nine Steps to Effective Governance

It is fair to say that governance in any context has become more challenging. The majority of directors in our sector and the wider non-profit sector are not paid, yet grapple with very demanding roles and increasing accountability. The work can be stressful and frustrating, but this need not be the case. Everyone who offers to serve on a board does so with the intent of doing a good job. Attention to the key concepts in this resource will greatly assist in making the role a satisfying one.

There is no magic formula, and this does not set out to be a ‘recipe book’ for good governance – there are no perfect or universal prescriptions. Everyone’s situation is different, but it is hoped that by applying the core principles that underlie this resource you can enjoy the work and make positive change in the world. We encourage you to use this book and the associated suite of governance tools and resources offered by Sport NZ.

What Our Customers Say on G2

"We use BoardPro for all our meetings and not only is it easy for us, it's proven to be easy to navigate with our not so tech savvy members as well! It's organized, it looks amazing when auditors need to confirm our minutes, and it's just THAT useful. All around amazing!"

"This is an excellent board tool. Mobility, no paper, ease of navigation, brilliant note options. The ability to quickly find previous papers and minutes is also very helpful for accountability."
Paul M
Chairman, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"BoardPro has proven itself indispensable. The structured approach makes it easy to compile agendas and Board packs and then use this same structure for creating well-organised minutes. Being able to search for previous decisions and minutes, as well as easily keep tabs on actions is fantastic. The reminders that BoardPro sends out keep everyone on task, without the Board Secretary needing to be too involved."
Virginia C
Board Secretary, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
Staying at the top of your professional game! In the past, preparations for Board meetings were a nightmare as there were always literally mountains of paperwork to prepare, photocopy and share with Board members. This was such a tedious task, not to mention not great for the environment. Now, with BoardPro, all meeting documents are virtual and there is no longer any need for photocopying and wasting so much paper. This has cut our meeting cost down significantly.
Arieta D
Human Resource & Compliance, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)
Completely changed our board meetings! The software drastically improves organization of documents and communication before and after meetings. It gives us a central place for recording and reviewing minutes. We use the action items feature extensively, which automates everything so nothing slips through the cracks. The technical support is impressive.
