About this event
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 FREE 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.
We'll cover:
- What are some common disputes involving members and board members of not-for-profit organisations?
- Why are these disputes often so damaging?
- What processes are available to help resolve the dispute?
- How can your rules/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 (accessible for 3 months) and slide handout
- Information on further resources and support
Who should attend:
Board or committee members and senior staff in your organisation.
