About the Sunlight Series The Sunlight Series is a collaboration between Australia’s best known transparency advocate, Stephen Mayne, and Our Community, the leading provider of governance programs for Australian not-for-profit organisations. Stephen cut his teeth during what he describes as “a four-year governance nightmare” as a councillor at the City of Manningham, experience he applied as a governance reformer during a four-year stint on the City of Melbourne. Stephen strongly believes that “sunlight is the best disinfectant”. As a City of Melbourne councillor, he chaired the finance and governance committee and leveraged a balance of power situation into Australia’s most comprehensive governance reform program. During his eight-year stint as a councillor, Stephen was invited to speak on governance and transparency issues by councils and local government peak bodies across Australia. The Sunlight Series turns Stephen’s very fresh experiences and highly effective practices into lessons that can be applied by any local government councillor or senior staff member across Australia. In both the Seminar and Workshop, Stephen will recount his war stories, while extracting key lessons for those seeking to avoid the pitfalls and stay ahead of both public sentiment and regulatory truncheons. Stephen will avoid hypothetical situations and the endless complexities of Victoria’s Local Government Act. He will name names and give real life examples of governance snafus across Australia, explaining how to avoid trouble and drive reform.
