| 1. | Board Governance |
| 2. | Committee Rule |
| 3. | Strategic Planning |
| 4. | Communication Strategies |
| 5. | Leadership Development |
| 6. | Funding & Sponsorship |
| 7. | School Community Partnerships |
| 8. | Inclusion |
| 9. | Risk Management |
| 10. | Volunteer Management |
| 11. | Membership Recruitment |
| 12. | Event Planning & Management |
Each developmental tool will be delivered with a presentation accompanied by a resource you can take away with you. Follow up meetings will take place to assist with implementing the development tools into your RSO or RRO.
If you would like assistance in any of the above areas please contact your local Sport & Recreation Development Advisor.
