Policies might not be the most thrilling part of being a CEO, but they’re absolutely essential to running a safe, compliant, and effective not-for-profit. In this episode, Michelle and Danielle unpack the practical side of policy management; how to create a strong policy framework, keep it up to date, and avoid the panic that comes when you realize something’s missing (or written in Times New Roman from 2016!).

Whether you’re stepping into a new CEO role or trying to get your policy house in order, this episode gives you a clear roadmap to create, review, and repeat with confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why policy management is a must-do, not a nice-to-do, for every NFP CEO
• Where to find reliable policy templates and guidance (ACNC, AICD, Institute of Community Directors)
• How to build and maintain a policy register that actually works
• When and how often to review policies and which ones need more frequent updates
• How to involve your team and board committees in policy development and review
• Practical ways to make policies usable, accessible, and embedded in daily practice
