19th February 2008John Tierney, Director of transform management consultancy launched BoardsCount™ ’08 including some new features at the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action’s (NAVCA) governance conference called ‘Pathways to Sustainability’ on 19 February in Birmingham.
Commenting on the findings of BoardsCount™ ’07, which was launched at the NCVO/On Board conference on 8 October 2007, John said that it was vital that umbrella organisation like local councils for voluntary service (CVS) practice what they preach. “CVS’s must set an example in terms of their own governance if they are to have credibility in their work with their members to foster higher standards of governance in the local community sector”, he said.
