This is an introduction for leaders of Churches to the important areas of governing your Church well. High-functioning boards and the management of risk are increasingly recognised as two of the great distinguishers between 'flash in the pan' organisations and great organisations with longevity. Directors are not merely liable for the results of their decisions, but in a fast-paced world, an aligned and strategically aware board will make better decisions faster. This program introduces the essentials which relate to the governance of Churches, from some of the leading figures in the field.
