Nomination - Governance Award
Good governance is the backbone of any organisation. Often, governing boards are made up of volunteers who bring sound, objective decision-making to the table. This award recognises and celebrates the leadership, commitment, and hard work of someone who volunteers in a governance role – helping to guide and grow their organisation.

Please note: The nominee can be from any organisation; it does not have to be a non-profit or charity organisation.
Please provide as much infomation as possible and use specific examples - the judges can only make a decision based on the information you provide.
