Governance
Mount Beauty Neighbourhood Centre Inc (MBNCI), referred to as the ‘Centre’ is incorporated under the provisions of the Incorporation Act 2012.
The governance of a not-for-profit is undertaken by the board or governance. The governance of an organisation is different to the everyday work of the organisation. Boards and committees make strategic decisions and management, and staff or volunteers action the governance decisions.
Good governance means complying with the law and legal duties and carrying out the governance role in the best interests of the not-for-profit.
The powers and duties of the MBNCI Board are as prescribed by the Incorporation Act 2012. In accordance with the Act, the Board has a Statement of Purposes and are guided by the rules of incorporation.
The Board identifies and represents the interests of its membership and conducts its affairs openly and with integrity, reflecting the highest level of good management and governance, in a way that recognises the separation between governance and management.
