                   BOARD GOVERNANCE

Below are just a few examples of additional training opportunities and other resources:

Online training

  • CompassPoint's board and governance courses provide board members with the foundational concepts necessary for successful non-profit boards. The courses address some of the most pressing challenges facing board members. CompassPoint has designed its online courses to be especially accessible to busy board members whose day jobs make accessing professional development a challenge.
  • Charity Village has online governance related courses available in organizational management.
  • The Ministry of Justice and The Attorney General of Saskatchewan has an online tutorial for directors of non-profit organizations. Some of the material is specific to Saskatchewan, but it also includes general topics of interest.

Online Subscriptions

  • Governance Matters is published up to six times a year and is available by subscription to anyone interested in governance issues.
  • Compass Point, an online, US-based organization for non-profits publishes a monthly newsletter called Board Cafe. The newsletter archives list over 100 topics related to board development.
