“Boardroom Plus was excellent for our Board Governance Review, as we had a contemporary questionnaire relevant to the latest human services, corporate and contemporary governance roles, responsibilities framework. This resulted in powerful insights, conversations and a clear pathway for continuing to build a strategic, capable and engaged Board. Thank you again for your team’s assistance in this important work.”

During that time, our maturity as a Board has grown, and our Directors are increasingly capable and confident to make strong contributions to our strategic priorities.
