Board Prospectus
Board meetings are held bi-monthly on the third Friday of the month. These are usually held online via MS Teams.
All prospective members of the Board of Management (BOM) must first be accepted as members of the Association and pay their membership fees. This is a prerequisite before a nomination to the BOM can be accepted. If nominating for appointment at the AGM, membership should be fully set-up by the end of August in order to allow enough time for a nomination to be processed.
Please click on the "Join Association" button and apply for membership. The application will be discussed and approved at the next meeting of the BOM. Following approval, an invoice for Membership Fees will be sent to you via email.
You must also send a resume or CV to info@wnci.com.au along with a cover letter outlining:
-
Your strengths - personal and professional
-
Your management and/or financial skills and experience - business or not-for-profit context
-
Your level of skill/experience with computer-based technologies
-
Your willingness to communicate in an electronic environment between meetings
-
A statement about why you want to join the board of management
The next step will be a nomination request form. You will be sent a link to a form that you must complete before your nomination can be officially processed. A formatted digital nomination form will be sent out via Adobe Pro for signatures prior to any appointment to the Board.
Technological Prerequisites for Board Participation
Members of the Board of Management will be expected to use a Microsoft Office 365 account (provided by the organisation) to access email, shared calendars, SharePoint files, MS Teams communication portal, MS Teams meetings and various other things. Board members will also be asked to register on the organisation's volunteer management portal 'Volaby'.
A reasonable level of computer literacy is required and basic training is available from the Manager. A device can be provided to use for organisational business, with all the necessary MS platforms installed and set-up. An IT Induction will be necessary before a board member's first use of their organisational email. This is to ensure everything is working correctly and the member understands how to log in and out of the account.
Access to a reliable internet connection is required to attend online meetings. A space can be made available at the Neighbourhood Centre if a board member has no suitable internet connection and remote access is difficult. (On request; with 24 hours notice before an online meeting).
