Directors and trustees in sport take on significant legal, ethical and strategic responsibilities. Understanding Directors’ and Trustees’ Duties in Sport is designed to help current and aspiring board members clearly understand what those duties are, why they exist, and how they apply in practice within the unique context of sport.

These workshops will help sports bodies explore the benefits of board performance and governance reviews, and understand the various ways they can be carried out. The sessions will invite participants to reflect on their organisation’s experiences of board reviews and also offer opportunities for them to share their observations and ideas with peers.

Led by expert trainers, this session brings together experienced chairs and facilitates topical and in-depth discussion, encourages experience-sharing and provides a networking opportunity.
