Volunteers! When you are doing it all ... in discussion with Abby Golden and Chris Joseph for Community Governance Aotearoa
SeedsShow Notes
This session I facilitated a panel considering volunteer organisations which was put on by Community Governance Aotearoa. I am grateful to Rose and Alice and the team there for letting me put up the audio of the session on Seeds Podcast as well. Volunteer boards (sports clubs, waka ama, arts groups and more) are the backbone of Aotearoa's not-for-profit sector. When there's no paid staff, committees and boards often juggle governance and operations, everything from managing subscriptions to compliance and community engagement. This talk is for anyone asking: How do we do it all and still lead well?
Practical, actionable, and designed for community governance leaders. Our panelists for this talk were: Steven Moe – Partner at Parry Field Lawyers, specialising in social enterprises, not for profits Abby Golden – Co-founder at Te Ara Tīrama Charitable Trust Chris Joseph – Executive Director at Volunteer Kāpiti There is a youtube video of this session here as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vruUDbBLu40 For more content visit www.theseeds.nz

Katharine Watson was my latest guest for a conversation that went rambling all over through a City and its past, present and future! This was a fascinating journey into the past but to start we also discussed Katharine's own life journey as well as her founding of The Christchurch Archaelogy Project. What is it that might lie beneath us underneath the streets that we walk or the houses we live in? The Christchurch earthquakes accelerated a period of exploration here and so we talk about that and what has been found. This is one of more than 500 conversation so if you enjoy it check out more at www.theseeds.nz Website for the Christchurch Archaelogy Project: https://www.christchurcharchaeology.org/who-we-are
