Governance Now

On 13th November 2018, the Clore Leadership Programme in partnership with the Cultural Governance Alliance presented Governance Now: a national conference for arts and culture sector professionals and trustees.

A sell-out gathering of attendees, speakers and facilitators came together to be part of positive culture change by becoming more aware, connected and empowered to address the challenge of achieving good governance.

Read more about the event in Arts Industry's preview article, in write-ups from Arts & Business Northern Ireland and Theatre Bristol, and about the official launch of the Cultural Governance Alliance in Arts Industry and Arts Professional.
