Training on Governance: find out how your voice can make a difference
“If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re probably on the menu”
This means that if you’re absent from decision-making, your interests may be overlooked, and you may become a subject or victim of decisions made by others, often to your disadvantage, as you become the “food” or subject and negatively impacted by their choices.
Join PLDI for the next training!
January 29–February 12, 2026, Online
The next Positive Leadership Development Institute (PLDI) training is on board governance. Learn what a board is and does, and whether this kind of work inspires you. Governance is a module that requires the completion of PLDI Core Leadership Training before you apply.

· Understanding committee structures and purpose
· Effective meetings
· General Financial Responsibilities
