Governance Is A Team Sport – Board Member Training Week
Great teams don’t happen by accident… and neither do great boards.
Every championship team has players who know their role, show up prepared, and work together toward a common goal. A great board is no different.
Whether you’re a seasoned board member or you’re thinking about getting off the bench and joining one for the first time, “Governance Is A Team Sport” is the training week built to get you game-ready. A full week of practical, expert-led sessions designed to build your confidence in the boardroom.
The Gameplan
- Get your ticket – One ticket gets you access to all training sessions for the full week, plus a seat at the Opening Night Keynote Dinner.
- Attend the sessions – You don’t have to attend every training session, but the more you put in, the more you get back! Your ticket also includes access to Alberta Board Member Essentials training in October and a bonus Financial Literacy session in November.
- Learn from the pros – Every session is led by an expert in their field. These are people who have been in the game and are ready to get you game (or board room) ready.
