This week on the Take on Board podcast, I am taking you through through the wind up of the Center for Sustainability leadership. I was chair of the board when we had to make some tough decisions.So wind up, it's not a dirty word. In fact, winding up an organization, if done at the right time in the right way, is something that I believe boards can and should be proud of. It's a natural part of the business cycle of an organization.Links and resourcesDownload a copy of my presentation to the Better Boards ConferenceThe podcast today is based on a presentation I did at the Better Boards conference in 2019.

Today is episode one of the Broads on Boards special series of theTake on Board podcast. This series explores the history of women on Boards in the place we now call Australia. So it’s fitting to kick off the discussion with an exploration of indigenous governance. So, today I’m speaking with Michelle Deshong about indigenous governance.Michelle is a Kuku Yalanji women with extensive experience in the governance. She is currently Co-Chair of Supply Nation and Council member for AIATSIS.  Michelle was awarded a Churchill Fellowship, in 2017, to 'research and apply best practice on Indigenous governance and leadership models'. Her study involved immersive visits to diverse First Nations communities and institutions. The primary objective was to investigate and analyze various leadership and governance models.This research project uncovered a spectrum of self-government, sovereignty, and development approaches within these communities and provided insights into the potential adaptation and implementation of research findings and best practices within the Australian context. The research also included concepts of nation building, cultural governance, sovereignty, and identity, all of which were explored in detail within the report.  Following the study, Michelle integrated key findings from the Fellowship into the work of the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute where she was CEO.  As you can hear, Michelle is an expert in first nations governance. In asking around who to speak to about this, everyone pointed me her way!  New Broads on Board episodes Tuesday and Fridays throughout March wherever you find your podcasts - you can subscribe here.
