County Officers
The GAA has developed a course called ‘Leading GAA Governance’ to improve the knowledge of County Officers on the Association's Governance Guide and help them strengthen governance practices in their counties.
Leading GAA Governance consists of an eLearning module which explains the five principles of good governance espoused by the Association, and a suite of webinars covering best practice in areas such as finance, IT, insurance, human resources, and games development and child safeguarding.
