Small community organisations have a vital role contributing to strong, vibrant and inclusive communities.
The COCB began over a decade ago as Queensland based network to support community board through regional responses. Here on the Sunshine Coast the SCCOCB has continued as a sustainable entity run by volunteers with support from Sunshine Coast Council.
Our activities include:
- Strengthening governance in boards of small community organisations
- Providing training and resources that can assist small community organisations
- Building a network of organisations that support each other
- Mentoring and encouraging peer-support
- Advocacy and analysis on issues affecting small community organisations.
…I feel these forums are important for community members who volunteer to join committees as they can encourage participants who have no previous committee or board experience to ask questions, seek assistance, and get ideas to assist in their roles.”
