GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK NOW FINAL

WOMEN IN GOVERNANCE 2016
Applications for scholarships and mentor support under the Sport NZ women in governance programme are now open. Deadline 27 November.
INCORPORATED SOCIETIES ACT REFORM
The consultation draft of the new Bill has just been released. Sport NZ will provide an initial assessment in the very near future. Submissions not due until 30 July 2016.
PROBLEMS AT VW START IN THE BOARD ROOM
New York Times piece on the extraordinary revelations about the car maker.
GOVERNANCE COMMUNITIES
There is interest in establishing specialist governance communities. We are keen to support but not lead. This might include seed funding for events, IT platform for discussion groups etc. Could be regional or national. Might go across chairing the board, women in governance, RST specific etc. Anyone keen to take a lead contact; governance@sportnz.org.nz.
