The OV/SA Board is currently seeking to fill the position of South Australian-based Associate Board Director.
The key function of the Board is to ensure good governance of the organisation. While undertaking this important work the Board considers the broad trends affecting the membership and the profession, and sets the vision and direction for the organisation, providing leadership for the profession.
Associate Board Directors attend meetings of the Board and access Board papers. Associate Board Directors also make an important contribution to the work of the Board, through participating in Board meetings, strategic planning meetings and committees of the Board. However Associate Board Directors are not entitled to vote on Board decisions.
Six Board meetings are held each year, and the Associate Board Director is required to regularly attend these meetings in person or by videoconference. Meetings are held in both Melbourne and Adelaide and we anticipate the Associate Board Director will be required to travel to Melbourne four times per year for meetings. Associate Board Directors are appointed to the Board for a period of up to two years. An honorarium is payable to cover costs associated with the role.
The Board is seeking applications from interested members. For further information, including details of how to apply, please review the Associate Board Director position description.
