The Start Ready Governance Committee is composed of Start Network members in the Philippines and was convened under the Start Network Philippines Secretariat, with Oxfam Pilipinas serving as lead. The Committee oversees governance processes, coordination among member organizations, and alignment with Start Ready’s global priorities.
As part of its 2025-2026 work plan, the Governance Committee has scheduled two trainings for its members. These trainings will require careful logistical and coordination support to ensure inclusive participation, smooth delivery, and alignment with governance objectives. Effective event planning will be critical to the success of these activities and to strengthening the Committee’s role in advancing anticipatory action and governance priorities.

- Coordinate logistics for Governance Committee meetings, workshops, and trainings (virtual, hybrid, or in‑person).
- Manage scheduling and invitations, ensuring timely communication with members and stakeholders.
- Arrange venues, catering, equipment, and technical support for in‑person events.
- Provide virtual event support, including platform setup, participant management, and troubleshooting.
