Rowing Ireland Governance Guide for Clubs

We are thrilled to announce the release of the Rowing Ireland Governance Guide for Clubs, a comprehensive resource designed to elevate governance standards within our affiliated clubs.

With the invaluable collaboration of our clubs, Rowing Ireland has diligently aligned our governance practices with Government and Sport Ireland standards. Now, we extend our commitment by offering this guide to support clubs in structuring and safeguarding their operations.

The guide provides an overview of governance principles, outlines club roles within Rowing Ireland, emphasises inclusivity and diversity, and underscores the pivotal role of volunteers. It also offers practical advice on strategy, policies, meeting management, and implementation.

Crafted with guidance from governance expert Sarah O’Shea, this resource reflects months of dedication to empowering our clubs and members. We encourage you to share it widely among your committee to foster a more structured, progressive, and compliant club environment.
