Why attend a CMA Board Training Day?
|
|
| Every local church should ensure that at least one elder / deacon / council member attends this important event, to keep the church abreast of critical legal and governance developments affecting ministry organisations. |
|
|
| Features & benefits for you and your church or ministry |
 |
You'll receive fresh legal and governance updates on what has changed in our environment for church and ministry boards in the last year - and what to expect in 2020 - all from seasoned Christian experts who understand the church sector. |
|
You'll walk away with dozens of samples and worksheets and practical tools to stimulate your discussions and policy setting, as well as browsing our governance resource table and exhibitors and sponsors who can assist you. |
|
You can earn Continuing Professional Development credits that count towards your requirements for AICD, CPA Australia and other professional associations. |
|
You'll learn how to work both sides of the governance coin: protecting your organisation from harm, AND steering the organisation towards the fulfilment of its mission! |
|
You'll engage in multiple plenary sessions and panels, and choose between eight electives ranging from 'The Basics' to something more advanced, presented by a range of local, interstate and international (by zoom and video) presenters. |
|
You'll do all this in a genuinely spiritual context, applying the scriptures to your role as board / council member. |
|
 |
When boards stumble, churches and ministries stumble.
When boards flourish, churches and ministries flourish.
"Ministry governance is like an airbag. You can go for a while without any problem, and then discover, when a crisis arises, that it has been faulty all along, and it's too late for a recall!"
This year, make a spiritual investment in your church or ministry board, and either avoid the crisis altogether, or at least be properly prepared when it comes. |
