6. LINKS TO COUNCIL
As our major stakeholder, it has been agreed that we should be more visible to Council and we have
set up a short review to be held every 2 months or so. The first was held in August and the second in
November.
7. LINKS TO NCBA
Given the common objectives of NBRF and NCBA, a “ways of working” together team has been set up to
optimise this.
8. GOVERNANCE
Some concern had been expressed about the historic level of governance in NBRF. This was taken very
seriously and a specific workshop held to look at this. The use of external consultants was an option
considered. However, we realised that four members of the Board and Staff are members of the Australian
Institute of Company Directors with a specific governance focus. We obtained a 10 point governance
checklist for Not for Profit Organisations and marked ourselves against this.
Overall, it was felt that the increased level of teamwork, Board communication, public communication and
financial information addressed the worry areas and would serve us well in the future.
9. FUNDRAISING
Given our DGR status, work has started on a fundraising strategy and target.
10. PRESS & COMMUNICATION
In the past we had avoided communicating freely with the local press and media. We have engaged the
services of Alison Cooper as a Communications expert. We have had major media successes with the
new Grants Round and our projects in hand. We hope to be regularly in the press, on radio, and TV around
events.
