Gov Month: Essential skills for trustees

About Governance Month 2023
In Governance Month this year, Support Cambridgeshire is dedicated to championing effective not-for-profit management. Throughout this month-long initiative, we host events and workshops that emphasise the significance of Trusteeship, policy development, and strategic vision within non-profit organisations. Additionally, we’re excited to highlight outstanding events conducted by other specialised organisations in these areas. It’s a collaborative effort to empower and uplift the non-profit sector! All events are free to attend.
