"New resource : Free guide for Victorian incorporated associations!

PilchConnect has just released a comprehensive new resource for people involved in Victorian incorporated associations.

The 10-part Guide for Secretaries and Public Officers of a Victorian Incorporated Associations provides useful information and practical tools  – such as sample documents, checklists, and flowcharts. The aim of the Guide is to assist people involved in running an incorporated association in Victoria and complying with the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 (Vic).

Although aimed at people in the role of public officer and secretary, we think the guide will be of interest to all people involved in running an effective and well-governed community organisation! Topics include: appointing and removing a secretary, preparing and giving notice of meetings, procedures for meetings, minutes of meetings, reporting to Comsumer Affairs Victoria, and many more.

The Guide is an adaptation of The Secretary’s Handbookby Prof Myles McGregor-Lowndes, Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies, Queensland University of Technology (with thanks!).

It has been produced with support from the Office of the Community Sector and Consumer Affairs Victoria, agencies of the State Government of Victoria.

The Guide is available from the PilchConnect’s website at:  www.pilch.org.au/incguide
