The two modules will be offered on Friday 18 September (evening session) and Saturday 19 September (day-time session) at FASANOC Conference Room.

Attendance to this program is free and expenses (travel, accommodation and meal allowances where necessary) will be provided. Currently, an NF can register one participant, however depending on space, a second participant could also register.

MiSO courses aim to strengthen the governing of NFs; presidents, secretaries and treasurers, together with other executive members who play a key role in ensuring sustainability in this regard. Thus participation from NFs in this fully funded program is strongly recommended.

Brief Information on MiSO Modules Offered

MODULE 6: FEDERATION/CLUB GOVERNANCE

INTRODUCTION: 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.

Outcomes:

• good governance principles

• club/federation structures

• constitutional issues.

MODULE 7 PLANNING FOR DEVELOPMENT

COVERAGE

- General club/NF planning information

- The planning processes

OVERVIEW: Clubs/NFs can have the best intentions, but if they do not plan their activities for the future, their survival and/or growth are at risk. Planning ahead is to succeed in all areas of operation is important if your club/federation.

Why Plan?

Whether at international, national or local level, Pacific Sporting clubs/federations need to plan ahead in order to survive and grow.

Planning helps to:

- Look at where the club/federation has come from and where it is now, where it wants to go and how it is going to get there

- Identify the main goals of the club/federation

- Encourage the members to get involved in the development of the club/federation

- Adjust to changes in the current environment that have an impact on the club/federation

- Make sure that resources (human, physical and financial) are used effectively

- Evaluate the performance of the club/federation
