Governance capacity uplift for the Tasmanian Seafood Industry

Funded Activity Summary

With about 50 participants nominated by 8 of Tasmania’s 11 seafood bodies, SIT will facilitate up to four one-to-two day governance courses in the 12-month period after funds are secured. Participants will mostly be directors of Tasmania’s seafood bodies; other relevant roles (e.g. executive officers, project managers, etc.) are also invited.
Courses will be delivered by accredited governance experts. The course will be tailored for non-profit organisation, with a focus on the seafood industry. SIT will work with participants and the training provider to ensure, wherever possible, cross-sectional representation of seafood bodies in each class. There may be an opportunity to deliver training at different venues around the state. Participants have an opportunity to gain competency certification at the end of the course.
There is an immediate benefit for boards as participants gain knowledge and a level of competency around corporate governance. Governance of Tasmania’s seafood bodies will improve as directors understand their roles more fully. Governance training enables and enhances organisational succession planning and supports capacity building within the seafood industry. Creating a pool of trained individuals help to future proof leadership in the seafood industry.
The vision is to run a full course every two years, providing opportunities for new entrants to gain knowledge and competency.
