Governance over Dinner 25.8.2022
A fabulous group of 20 people gathered for the ‘Governance Over Dinner’ event on Thursday evening. Committee of Management representatives from 9 Neighbourhood Houses connected over dinner and contributed some really valuable information towards the planning of the three key project outcomes;
1: Committee of Management Induction.
2: Governance Mentors.
3: Chairs Community of Practice.
The feedback from the night has been really positive.
“Liked the event and the common sense that we heard. Liked the reports/overview and thought the table talk topics were well-chosen. Also dinner, good stuff.”
“Information learnt, open space for questions. Scope of discussion gained some clarity – have hope for future”

Governance Induction Workshop 27.11.2022
On Sunday 27 November 2022, over 20 Neighbourhood Houses Barwon committee members and chairs participated in the first Governance Induction training which was developed as a result of consultation earlier this year by Jill Evans.
Following an acknowledgement of country and warm welcome and introductions, the session focussed on:
- The theory and practice of governance;
- Committee of management roles and responsibilities; and
- The importance of strategic planning and committee of management team building in delivering a clear vision and maintaining community accountability.
The session was interactive and identified key challenges for committee members and chairs. This feedback will inform the development of additional resources as the Governance Project continues in 2023.
Participants had opportunities for networking and information sharing both during the training and over a delicious morning tea and lunch provided by Café Narana.
A slide pack from the training will be available via the NHB website and the session will be evaluated to identify improvements for future sessions planned for April and September 2023.
