The FSA’s Nicola Cave nominated for governance award
Congratulations to the FSA’s very own Nicola Cave who has been nominated for the Sports Governance Academy’s (SGA) “Outstanding Governance Contribution” Award – the winner will be announced on Thursday 13th November.
Of course we all know Nic is outstanding but it’s great to see that acknowledged by the SGA as well! You can read more about the awards and all nominees here.
The award “celebrates and recognises those individuals who have made a positive and sustained contribution to governance in their organisation, who have gone above and beyond to encourage, support and raise awareness of good governance.”

Nic Cave: FSA training and governance manager
Nic has spent the past decade delivering training to our member supporter groups in governance, developing accessible resources and providing specialist advice, enabling supporters to own and run their football clubs sustainably and democratically.
The FSA’s relationship with the Financial Conduct Authority is also stronger than ever thanks to Nic, as she regularly attends discussions with other sponsoring bodies across a wide range of sectors, sharing knowledge and best practice.
Hundreds of supporter reps have now attended Nic’s regular training sessions covering everything from how to be an effective board member to the financial and statutory requirements of running a registered society.
Nic has developed a huge range of training resources on the FSA website, all of our training sessions are free to join and open to all members of the FSA (join here).
