BBE's Relationship & Partnership Development Manager, Alex Parker told 4BR: "The course has been built around the questions that we get asked the most about how to successfully run a brass band organisation.
It's a full day of learning with lots of topics being covered, and is proving to be a really worthwhile investment for bands who are looking to prosper in the future."
Topics
The course covers topics such as funding models and organisational structure, charity status, committee roles, employed positions and safeguarding. There is also a focus on legal responsibilities and requirements linked to attendees identifying the future aims of their band.
It's already proved to be worthwhile according to one participant who left the post course comment of: "It was a fantastic workshop!
