The nomination committee sets the framework for the board itself through its recommendations for appointments, evaluations of composition, and planning for future succession

Also known as ad hoc committees, these are often formed for a specific task, purpose or objective with clearly defined deliverables

Of all committees of the board, the remuneration committee has elements that are imperative in its successful functioning, including transparency of outcomes, clarity of deliverables and independence of action from the board or influencers

Setting the tone from the top and embedding it throughout the organisation

Front and centre of the governance of all organisations, above all other aims, must be the welfare of those who come into contact with them: participants, athletes, coaches, customers, officials and employees/volunteers.

As we continue our series on improving accessibility in the boardroom, Krishna Grenville-Goble presents some of the findings from KPMG and The Bridge Group's latest report on socio-economic inclusion on boards and discusses the advantages for organisations as well as simple steps towards improving board profiles.

The SGA Board Development Fund enables organisations operating in the sport and physical activity sector in the United Kingdom to access - free of charge - development training for their board members which can be customised, if required, and delivered in-house (either in-person or online). It allows organisations successful in the application process to identify areas of need or areas of particular focus for them which are not catered for by existing training provision.

The fund provides the flexibility to meet the needs of organisations with different requirements for their board's development and to provide training support in specific areas of governance.

The fund is limited and applications will be assessed against specified criteria, which include the specific need answered, the benefit to the organisation and the organisation’s access to paid-for training. Priority will be given to organisations that would otherwise be unable to obtain the requested training due to financial constraints.
