Club/federation governance

In this module we will cover:
• good governance principles
• club/federation structures
• constitutional issues.

Good governance principles

Governance is about the way clubs/federations are governed by the board, not
the way they are managed by the staff and volunteers. Governance focuses on
boards setting strategic directions that the staff and volunteers then carry out.
Governance refers to the structures and processes organisations use to:
• develop strategic goals and directions
• monitor performance against these goals
• ensure that the board acts in the best interests of the members.

Governance structures have a significant impact on the running of any sporting
club/federation. As the performance of Pacific athletes and the growth in
participation draws attention to our sporting system, there is greater pressure on
those involved in governance and management of clubs/federations to improve
their skills.
