Evaluating board performance, both of the group and of individual directors provides an opportunity for the board to assess its own effectiveness, to identify areas of strength and weakness, to set standards and performance expectations based on set criteria, to evaluate individual member performance, and if necessary, to develop remedial plans. When is the right time to do Board evaluation? Who should do it and how should it be done?

The clock is ticking on the new Not-For-Profit Corporations Act! Rachel Corbett and her team from the Sport Law & Strategy Group are working with over 30 NSOs and MSOs on their preparations for compliance with the new legislation. This new law presents an unprecedented opportunity for federally-incorporated sport organizations to modernize their governance structures and practices. This webinar will cover the Act and its implications for national sport bodies, and will share what we are learning from our work so far with other sports.

The webinar will explore 4 main aspects of meeting management and facilitation:

1. Preparing for Efficient Meetings - creating agendas, developing meeting designs
2. Facilitation Tips to keep a Meeting on Track
3. Process Tools and Methods to Engage participants and Collect Information - Interview matrix, decision grids, World Cafe and Wandering Flip Charts
4. Tips for Effective Conference Calls

This webinar briefly discusses strategic planning and the strategic management cycle, but the main focus of the session is on 10 'tips & truisms' gathered from management science, experience and good practices in and outside of sport on implementing your strategic plan.
