Through the ClubsNSW partnership with the AICD, club directors, CEOs and senior managers are strengthening their governance capability by participating in two of Australia's leading governance programs.

Through the ClubsNSW partnership with the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD), club directors, CEOs and senior managers are strengthening their governance capability by participating in two of Australia’s leading governance programs — the Company Directors Course™ and the Governance Foundations for Not-for-Profits™ course.

These programs are designed to help participants better understand their responsibilities, improve board performance and make more effective strategic decisions.

As clubs navigate increasing regulatory obligations, financial pressures, cyber risks and changing member expectations, strong governance has never been more important.

Investing in governance education helps boards and senior leaders build the knowledge and confidence needed to provide effective oversight, challenge assumptions, manage risk and support long-term organisational success.

Importantly, the benefits extend beyond the individual participant. Graduates return to their clubs with practical tools, contemporary governance insights and a broader network of governance professionals.

This creates stronger boardroom discussions, more informed decision making and better outcomes for members and communities.

We congratulate all directors, CEOs and senior leaders who have successfully completed these programs and demonstrated their commitment to governance excellence.

Their investment in professional development is helping to enhance governance standards across the club industry and strengthen the future of the sector.
