The Australian Mutuals Sector – Spotlight on Governance and Growth

25 October 2017

BCCM is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the Governance Institute National Conference, to be held 4 to 5 December 2017 at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne. Check out the National Conference video. Governance Institute’s National Conference is your opportunity to hear from leading international and Australian experts on how you can lead process innovation to realise transformative change.

Spotlight on Mutual Governance

Hear from BCCM’s CEO, Melina Morrison, alongside Peter Promnitz, Chairman, Australian Unity Ltd and Judith S Downes, Chair, Bank Australia.

There is a spotlight on governance in the Australian Mutual Sector at time when ‘business as usual’ is not enough. The sector is challenged by a legislative and regulatory landscape that offers little guidance on the exercise of the directors’ duty of care. Hear from the panel on the practical framework for governance and growth.

You’ll also hear from Professor Sir Julian Le Grand, Marshall Institute for Philanthropy and Social Entrepreneurship, London School of Economics on the growth of the Hybrid Economy — where organisations have more than one goal. Profit and social purpose. BCCM will be hosting Julian for the week.

See the full program of speakers and sessions.
