Are you an accountant or lawyer and want to give back but not sure where to start? Well, let me share a bit of my story in this video about how I became a company secretary for a non profit company in order to give back.
Non profit governance is much like corporate governance (Australia) except that it doesn’t have all of the positions filled. For example, they often don’t have a CFO or an HR department and so the CEO themselves are carrying not only the responsibility of the organisation but also the weight - mostly alone.
That’s where a company secretary executive can be of use, especially if you’re a lawyer or accountant. These are strong skill sets that nonprofits need in order to manage the organisation effectively and by you volunteering your time and experience you can give quite a lot of value while simultaneously sharing the load with the CEO.
So, if you’re looking at how to give back with business skills, then this is a role you should consider! Your familiarity and corporate governance structure will make you an asset to any non profit.
