You can compare the way governance works in your organisation, community or nation to the way a footy team works.

 

A footy match depends on all the players, captain and coach. Everyone needs to understand their role and perform it to the best of their ability for the game to go well. The same is true for governing a group.

 

Whether your group is informal or formal, incorporated, or unincorporated, at its core are people. Each person has their own roles and responsibilities, and relationships with one another.

 

The key players in your group may include:

 

  • the board of directors
  • members
  • staff
  • organisation, community or nation.
