Non-profit organizations play an essential role in our communities, and are well placed to meet a variety of needs and challenges. But that only happens when strong board governance is in place, something we often take for granted, writes Gary Whetung. www.therecord.com/opinion/colu...
Strong board governance is crucial for healthy organizations
If you are part of a board of directors, I hope your board has thoughtful discussions about what governance means for your organization, writes Gary Whetung.

Part 2 of #IVMDay25 appreciation is something that everyone always likes to hear: That they are important, and how they affect you!

This can be as simple as keeping you on track for volunteering, to giving you an awesome reference, to a gesture or token of appreciation they gave you!

⚠️ Ontario’s new Species Conservation Act could strip away protections for 106 at-risk species — incl the piping plover, monarch butterfly & yellow-banded bumble bee.

🗣️ Add your voice: wwf.ca/endangered-species-are-not-red-tape
Tell ON to protect species, not weaken the laws meant to safeguard them.
