This e-learning is delivered as part of NFWI’s commitment to working in partnership with federations and providing additional support and guidance throughout the National Federation.
This course has been designed to support you in your role as a WI Adviser to ensure WIs comply with the organisation's legal constitutional requirements.
This induction module is designed primarily for WI members who are newly appointed to an Officer role - President, Secretary, or Treasurer. However, current Officers may also find it useful as a refresher to update their knowledge.
Participation in this induction is optional. Its purpose is to provide all the essential information needed to confidently take on an Officer role.
