Ray James, RSL NSW Acting President speaking on the importance of governance and compliance in evolving RSL NSW both at sub-Branches and ANZAC House (RSL NSW Head Office):
"The RSL is vastly different today than it was 100 years ago, and it is imperative that our members remain fully across the legislative requirements around what it means to run a sub-Branch in 2019 and beyond."
"This training is part of evolving RSL NSW more broadly, and ensuring the public can have full confidence in supporting the important grassroots activities being undertaken everyday by sub-Branches for veterans and their families."
Areas covered in this training include, among other things, governance standards required for not-for-profit bodies, charity regulations, reporting obligations, responsibilities of committee members and trustees of a sub-Branch, and education around broad compliance with fiduciary duties.
