Good Governance Board Service

Community Governance Aotearoa offers a Good Governance Board Service for not-for-profits.
In Aotearoa New Zealand not-for-profit boards are facing huge challenges with a shortage of resources, time, and money. This puts pressure on not-for profits while the demand for services keeps growing.

The Good Governance Board Service includes six months of tailored support from a governance expert, with a whole board evaluation service designed from a Good Governance Code. A Te Ao Māori board evaluation service is also available.
