Sports Association Governance
The Agile Director: Empowering Sporting Boards for the Future
Â
Most sporting association board members bring deep passion and dedication to their sport. They work tirelessly to support their club and community, often without formal governance training.
But great boards aren’t built on passion alone—they require teamwork, adaptability, and an understanding of good governance to drive their sport forward.
Sporting boards, like the teams they support, thrive on diverse skills and collaboration. Yet, many boards naturally look for members who think like them, making it challenging to build fresh perspectives.
A new breed of board member is emerging—one that is agile, collaborative, and continuously learning.
The Agile Director equips sporting boards with the skills to lead with confidence, make better decisions, and ensure their sport’s success—on and off the field.
