Potential SFHA Governing Body Members' Forum and Conference

SFHA is keen to explore additional methods to directly reach governing body members (GBMs).  Their views would greatly benefit our consultation responses and much of the guidance we produce as part of our Get Governance offering would be enhanced with more GBM input.   To this end, we are looking to gauge interest in SFHA forming a forum specifically for GBMs.  This would be similar to the Governance Forum in format.

Digital governance guidance now available

SFHA guidance looking at digital governance is now available to all SFHA members. This is the next piece in SFHA's Get Governance series and we commissioned Linda Ewart to develop the document on our behalf. Please note that this guidance does not look at the technological side of digital governance, but instead focuses on ensuring governance remains effective even when meetings etc are not in the same room.  This piece of work brings together and updates a lot of the guidance SFHA produced during Covid in this area.
