2014 Nelson Marlborough Governance Development Programme

The Governance Development Programme provides the opportunity to continue learning over an extended 10 session time span. This dynamic learning experience means you hear first-hand from national and local presenters, have the ability to reflect and apply it yourself in your board roles between sessions and come back to the next session with questions, discussions and further real life applications.

The different perspectives and war stories from both presenters and other course participants take you well beyond the text book and into true experiential learning.

Time: 4.00 pm - 6.00 pm

Dates: Held over 10 Thursdays from 8 May to 25 September followed by a graduation dinner

Venue: NMIT Campus, Blenheim

Who should attend

Aspiring directors, those new to a governance role, more experienced directors who have not previously completed any formal governance training, senior managers who report to boards, SME owners who wish to explore their governance function, and professionals who advise clients on governance. The style of this course is particularly useful to those wishing to establish networks with other like minded individuals.

"The Governance Development Programme was an excellent programme - with real life lessons and anecdotes shared by experienced, knowledgeable directors and a chance to create and develop our own networks at a regional level. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand governance roles and frameworks".
