Targeting:

SIMNA is a nimble and growing organisation. We are an active Board, supportive of each other and our collective desire to support SIMNA’s growth. Each Board member will be responsible for leading areas of operational development. This is not an honorary position, but a role where you can help shape the future of social impact measurement in Australia and our growing network.

We encourage SIMNA members from diverse backgrounds to apply to be a Director. Nominations from members living and working in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory are actively encouraged. Ideally, candidates should be active within SIMNA and demonstrate a strong understanding of the network, for example current or former Organising Committee members or Roundtable participants.

The commitment will be for approximately one day of work per month. We actively use Slack for all communications and have a two-hour Board meeting every four to six weeks (a total of nine per year), via Zoom. These currently take place on a Thursday afternoon between 3:00-5:00pm (Melbourne time).

All nominees must have an active SIMNA membership.
