I think the additional support that I need from the Secretariat organization so that I can be more effective in my role is the responsive attitude and actions from the Secretariat TOWARDS suggestions and requests for assistance from the Board of Governors ...

use toward after "attitude"
[attitude *toward* suggestions and requests]
but actions are taken "toward" people
actions are taken "in response" to suggestions or requests
actions are not taken "toward" suggestions or requests.
[note: toward/towards are interchangeable
but toward is more common and less awkward]
In order to be more effective in your role, I think the additional support you need from the Secretariat organization is a more
responsive attitude toward suggestions and requests for
assistance from the Board of Governors, including direct action.

Yup, toward works fine here, however I think it might flow a little better if you said "I think I need additional support from the Secretariat.... my role. A responsive attitude form the Secretariat toward...."

Toward sounds fine, not towards.
