- Induction for new Management Committee and Board Members
You’re voted in as a new committee member… Now what?
As a volunteer for a touch football association or club in Queensland, you play a crucial role in the success of your group. You invest your time, effort and skills to help your community thrive. However, being a volunteer can also be challenging, especially if you’re new to the role. That’s where an induction training session can make all the difference.
Induction training helps new board and committee members understand their roles and responsibilities and become familiar with the organisation’s operations, constitution, policies, structure and culture. This type of training is particularly important for touch football associations and clubs that rely on volunteers to run their programs and services effectively.
2. Planning for Success
What better way to predict the future of your affiliate than to create it?
Planning is one of the most exciting tasks for committees because it gives you the chance to set aside your day-to-day operations and dream up a big future. Some of the most successful turnaround stories in affiliates started with those organisations planning ahead.
In this session, we’ll explore how strategic planning can assist with your touch football association’s growth and success and will provide practical steps for putting together a great plan!
3. Marketing, Social Media and Engagement
Marketing involves communicating information about an organisation’s activities and facilities to retain existing members, attract new members, volunteers and sponsors. One of the most important elements of running a successful affiliate is communication. Social media and mobile phone technology have opened new opportunities for communicating with members, volunteers and supporters.
But, where do you start? There are a number of communication tools available to associations and social media is fast becoming a preferred way to communicate. Understanding your brand, your purpose and your audience is critical to effective communication.
This session is tailored to volunteers and associations who are interested in using interactive technologies to facilitate the creation and sharing of information, ideas and content to engage, inform and broaden their marketing reach.
This webinar will cover:
- What is marketing?
- The importance of Brand
- Social media
- How to increase engagement
4. Grant Writing
This workshop is designed for volunteers in associations and clubs to learn the fundamental skills needed to write successful grant applications.
Every not-for-profit organisation is different and your grant applications should reflect this individuality. This webinar will focus on how you can create successful grant applications with good planning techniques and how to best tell your organisation’s story to make it stand out from the rest.
5. Governance, Incorporation & Committees
Good governance is a key component of a thriving organisation. Nevertheless, volunteers and staff often find it difficult to prioritise the time needed to set up good systems and processes to guide their business operations, when they face so many competing priorities on a daily basis.
During this session, we will explore what good touch football governance looks like in the real world. Avoiding corporate jargon, we will help you to understand basic governance principles, re-think your business model and set your organisation up for long-term success. We will discuss important recent amendments to the Associations Incorporation Act 1981. We’ll provide practical information regarding your legal obligations, as well as tips to help your board or committee feel confident and comfortable in their roles.
