Meeting Practices for Good Governance Outcomes

Overview

This course goes beyond the basics of preparing agendas and minutes, to ground these practices in their statutory purpose – supporting better decision making, efficient and effective meetings, good governance and good government.

Learners will develop both a sophisticated understanding of the compliance requirements, and the skills to develop systems and procedures, to ensure that these requirements are met.

Target Audience

This course is directed to Senior Officers who supervise the organisation of Council and committee meetings, contribute to the conduct of meetings, and manage the development and distribution of meeting-related documentation. All Officers who prepare reports, attend Council meetings, or are involved in the agenda and minutes preparation process, will also gain benefit from attending this course.
