There is no one size fits all approach when it comes to lawn bowls club governance, but there are five common principles that clubs with good governance share:
- Structure
- People
- Communication
- Standards and conduct, and;
- Policies and processes
Every club is governed in a slightly different way, but good governance is usually the responsibility of;
- Board members
- Committee members
- Senior volunteers or staff
- Professional advisors such as an accountant or bookkeeper
However, achieving good governance requires the input of everyone involved in running your organisation and delivering its activities.
