About this course

We invest our time and energy in industry and community boards because we want to see them not only function well but ultimately achieve what they are set up to do. This training will guide you toward achieving these goals!

This course is for cotton, grains, production horticulture, viticulture and rice-growing agricultural industries personnel in NSW who want to contribute to their industry and community committees, organisations and boards.

In the online sessions, conversations and resources will focus on how to effectively manage meetings including planning and chairing a meeting, organising the minutes and reporting meeting outcomes. There will also be a focus on the roles, responsibilities and behavioural protocols required of people working within organisational structures. There are also sessions on what requirements need to be considered when entering and managing contracts for funding or staff, stakeholder engagement, risk and monitoring performance.
