The Australasian Society of Association Executives (AuSAE) is calling for nominations from suitably experienced persons interested in serving on the Board of Directors.

 

The AuSAE Constitution allows for up to 10 board members, and there is currently a casual vacancy on the board due to the resignation of Mr Brett Jeffrey. 

 

We are committed to meeting the needs of members in both New Zealand and Australia, and with increased interest in AuSAE and activities planned for the New Zealand market the board wishes to fill this position by appointing an individual with detailed, first-hand knowledge of this sector.

 

New Zealand based AuSAE members are therefore encouraged to express their interest for appointment to fill this casual vacancy until April 2015.  The board will appoint a director from the pool of applicants. To be considered for appointment, each applicant’s suitability will be assessed against the following criteria:

 

-         A passionate advocate for AuSAE and the not for profit sector

-         Governance experience 

-         Ability to think strategically and to identify and critically assess key issues, strategic opportunities and threats, risks, and develop effective strategies in the context of the strategic objectives of AuSAE

-         Knowledge, experience and networks in the Association and not-for-profit sector in New Zealand

-         Experience and expertise in other relevant areas including risk management, advocacy, information technology & information management, marketing & communications, CPD and accreditation and membership.

To nominate yourself (or someone else) for a Board position you will need to provide:

 

-          a completed nomination form

-          a curriculum vitae, and

-          a statement outlining your suitability against the criteria to be a Director.

 

The board will appoint a director to fill the casual vacancy from the pool of nominees.

 

All nominations must be received by 5pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday 13 August 2014.
