Shared responsibilities
Distribute governance tasks amongst volunteers preventing burn out and ensuring a diverse range of skills contribution.

Financial assistance
Explore funding opportunities, grants or partnerships to ease financial burdens associated with governance implementation.
Networking
Encourage collaboration between clubs sharing knowledge and resources to collectively strengthen governance practices.
