Speaker: Terry Caputo - incoming District 7070 Governor and Chair of Governance committee.
Terry was introduced by Basil Dias.
Governance – Governance is important for successfully managing each club. Board members need to ensure there is compliance with the Not for Profit Corporation Act. Our strategic plan also provides corporate board guidance, risks, politics and budgets as well as direction. Each club answers directly to Rotary International.
The district governance committee is available to assist and advise on:
Preparing for club meetings.
Strategic planning, risk management process such as health and safety planning and training, performance reporting, code of conduct, business continuity and succession planning.
Youth protection and vulnerable persons policies, financial management policies, governance and operations policies, nomination and election procedures and ethics guidelines.
Terry was thanked by Gordon Brown.
