National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2024 theme, Now More Than Ever, means the work of reconciliation continues. It is a time for all Australians to learn and explore how we can contribute and continue to strengthen relations between First Nations and non-Indigenous peoples.
First Nations peoples have had governance systems in place for thousands of generations and are driven by culture and community priorities. They can provide insights for developing sustainable and impactful governance models. How can organisations integrate First Nations governance principles into wider board practices and what are the benefits? How can incorporating perspectives from First Nations directors and leaders improve the effectiveness of governance frameworks?
Join the Australian Institute of Company Directors in this free, virtual event to hear insights from both leading First Nations and non-Indigenous directors as they discuss how two-way learning by the exchanging of knowledge and experiences can pave the way for more inclusive and effective governance practices.
