The governance and management of most organisations seems to be going swimmingly, with only 3% of respondents requesting a new CEO or Chair. Technology featured heavily on wishlists, with nearly a third of respondents saying they need a data scientist or a new website. Unsurprisingly, almost half of readers said a $4,000 grant would be the most welcome Christmas gift of all, although 8% would prefer a $2,000 untied donation.
A shout-out to everyone who called for a great end-of-year party. We hope your wish comes true.

What's your nomination? 2018: International Year of...? Tell us here.
The most creative responses will get a special mention in the next issue of OC Matters and potentially a post on our social media accounts!
