15 November @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm AEST
Ready to Lead: PBA Rules, Governance and Band Administration Workshop
Please Note: this workshop is not exclusive to PBQ members, it is open to everyone, nationally.
Strengthen your confidence, sharpen your understanding, and support better administration across the pipe band movement.
Pipe Bands Australia is pleased to offer a free Rules and Administration workshop for PBA officers, band secretaries, managers and others involved in branch, band or contest administration. This practical and engaging session will help participants understand how PBA’s rules, governance structures and administrative processes work together to support fair, consistent and well-run pipe band activity across Australia.
Over approximately 2.5 hours, the workshop will cover key areas of governance, band operations, secretary responsibilities, contest readiness, registration and eligibility requirements, and the integrity controls that help protect fairness and confidence in the contest system.
This is an ideal opportunity for current and emerging office bearers, band administrators and volunteers to build role confidence, ask questions, share experience, and develop a stronger working understanding of the Rules and Administration framework.
Participants may attend online or in person at the Brisbane Boys College Band Rooms, with attendees welcome from every state in Australia.
Following the workshop, participants who wish to continue may sit the Pipe Bands Australia Elementary Rules and Administration examination, leading to the PBA Elementary Rules and Administration qualification.
