About this event
Conflicts and disputes can be stressful. Healthy debate helps not-for-profits thrive, but if a conflict or dispute is preventing your organisation from achieving its goals, you need the tools to handle it effectively. Understanding the legal processes for handling disputes between members and the committee will help your organisation achieve the best outcome.
In this webinar, you’ll hear about why disputes happen in not-for-profits, how to avoid them, and what the law requires of not-for-profit organisations managing conflict.

- Why are these disputes often so damaging?
- What processes are available to help resolve the dispute?
- How can rules or constitution help?
- Where to go if you need more help to resolve the dispute.
- How can you prevent disputes arising in the first place?
You'll receive:
- 75 minutes of plain-language training from a lawyer
- Copy of webinar recording (available for 3 months) and slide presentation
