Brigade Secretaries' Workshops

Are you an existing or new Brigade Secretary or looking to enhance or refresh your skills?

We offer FREE comprehensive Brigade Secretaries' Workshops to strengthen your skills and help you gain insights into how to do your role.

This Workshop is delivered by UFBA Membership Support and experienced Brigade Secretary, Jane Davie.

In this workshop we cover:

  • Role of the Brigade Secretary
  • Governance of meetings - agendas, minutes, voting processes
  • Rules and Regulations
  • Services of the UFBA
  • Service honours
  • FENZ policies and guidelines 

This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and network with other Secretaries.  It's informative, fun, and relaxed.  Workshops are held online via Microsoft Teams.  

We also have our video resource library available on our website if you're not able to make it to our online workshops. These videos go through all the topics covered in the Secretaries Workshop and have links to relevant documents - check them out here: https://www.ufba.org.nz/Secretary-Treasurer-Videos
