Legislative and Good Practice Constitutional Changes for WA Associations
This course is designed to assist non-profit organisations who need to review/amend/modify or replace their constitution. This course will explore the template constitution and its supporting manual in detail to help you develop a constitution that doesn’t just comply with the act, but also helps you get on with the work you do by ensuring you aren’t distracted by situations similar to those you may have had in the past!
