Further Information

AuSAE Executive Briefing events provide an exclusive environment for motivated association executives to gain insights and advice from other industry professionals. Executive Briefing events enables members to raise and discuss critical issues affecting industry and network with other professionals from the not-for-profit sector.


The Topic


Is your current constitution an asset to your organisation, or a hindrance? Does it help your organisation to be effective, efficient and stakeholder centric, or does it stifle your operations and your ability to innovate?

This session on constitutions will cover the following issues:

  • Does your constitution take advantage of those aspects of the law which simplify operations?
  • Does your constitution allow you to manage risk effectively?
  • Is your constitution stakeholder centric?
  • Does your constitution reflect the best of modern governance practices?
  • A brief discussion on ancillary documents, such as by-laws, codes of practice/conduct, charters and policies
