VOLUNTEER SOUTH TO HOST A NEW GOVERNANCE MENTORING PROGRAMME COMING TO THE CENTRAL LAKES TO SUPPORT & STRENGTHEN NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY LEADERS Jane Sharman and Gillian White of Volunteer South Submitted by: Jane Sharman
Volunteer South - Central Lakes has partnered with The Mentoring Foundation of New Zealand and Community Governance NZ to deliver the programme, which has been designed to increase effectiveness in community governance by developing capability, connection and confidence. Each mentee will be matched with a mentor who has substantial not-for-profit governance experience and both will be supported by a programme coordinator. Wānaka local Jane Sharman has recently been appointed to deliver the programme and brings with her a strong understanding of governance and operational roles, with broad experience across both. “The Governance Mentoring Programme has run successfully up north and we are thrilled to be launching it here, with local funding support from Central Lakes Trust” says Jane.
“Non-profit organisations across the region provide a range of services that enrich, support and strengthen our communities. These include supporting people, events, the environment, emergency services, arts, sports and more. Most of these groups are governed by a board or committee who volunteer their time to ensure the organisation runs smoothly and is sustainable. The Governance Mentoring Programme is designed to give these volunteers the knowledge and support they need to grow in their current role and also develop aspirations for future opportunities in our community”. The programme is due to kick off in August and run through until December. Expressions of interest for mentees and mentors are now open at: www.volunteersouth.org.nz/programmes For more information contact Jane Sharman on jane@volunteersouth.org.nz or call 021 1515 895.
