Governance > Skills Check

It’s important that committees/boards have all the skills and knowledge they need to meet the needs of the organisation. One of the most effective ways of doing this is through a skills check. The exact needs of each board or committee will vary depending on what your organisation does. Some of the areas of expertise you might like to consider are:

• Administration • Campaigning • Community Awareness • Customer Care
• Development • Disability Awareness • Equal Opportunities
• Financial Management • Fundraising • Human Resource Management
• Information Technology • Legal Knowledge • Management • Managing Change
• Marketing/Media/PR • Networking and Building Alliances
• Property Management • Regeneration activity • Research • Strategic Planning
• Training • Understanding and implementing Policies
