Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - June 18,2009 - Millbrook Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Millbrook First Nations, specializing in the customization of advanced technologies, announced the launch of the first ever Effective Board Governance training to be offered online. This in-depth course defines the roles and responsibilities of board members and the contributing factors towards good governance.

The course provides a general orientation for boards, councils and non profit organizations through examining: orientation to the board; the structure of non profit boards; board roles and responsibilities; the role of the executive director; strategic planning process; policy development; budget and finance management; and conflict resolution.

The Effective Board Governance course is designed to engage participants through the use of full audio, flash exercises and video clips to enhance the learning experience. It features various resource areas, such as, links to numerous volunteer organizations and associations, research articles and whitepapers, frequently asked questions and an "Ask the Expert" feedback utility that will allow for one to one contact and follow-up with Dr. Larry Thomas.

The Effective Board Governance online training course can be found at BuildingCapacity.ca, a website dedicated to the personal and professional development of First Nations Communities.
