Through various forms of feedback provided via clubs and observations of visiting clubs over the last few years it has become apparent that many clubs are struggling with good governance and strategic planning. To help, we have formed a partnership with TD Solutions and Active Queenslanders Industry Alliance (AQIA) to pilot providing some governance training and strategic planning assistance to clubs.

What TD Solutions usually offer for $2,500 is now subsidised to $500 through the support of AQIA and Australian Sailing.

To test the possible success of this partnership and program I would like to invite you to be a part of a trial being conducted between the 29^th February and 1^st March at our office in Brisbane. You would not be required to attend the whole weekend just one 3.5 hour workshop and an online survey prior to your workshop.

PLEASE EMAIL BEN CALLARD TO REGISTER YOUR INTEREST IN THIS PILOT – ben.callard@sailing.org.au
