This volunteer role will oversee implementation of a new governance structure, guide strategic planning, and ensure effective accountability across the organisation. The Chair will work closely with the CEO and sub-committees to drive performance, transparency and mission alignment. We expect the role to be tactile in the early implementation phase of this strategic shift, and then reducing in required capacity to a steady cadence expected of a usual chair role.

Time commitment: Initially ~5-8 hours per week for one month, then ~8–12 hours per month, including board meetings every 6-weeks and strategic engagement activities.
