Eligibility

We’re looking for people who are interested in serving their community and providing effective and progressive management for this fantastic facility. Ideally, you should have some board experience – but this is not essential.  For us, it’s  about drive and attitude and people who can complement the skills and add to the diversity on the Board.

Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest can be either a real, perceived or potential conflict between the personal or business interests of a Board Member and their duty to act in the interests of the public Association.

Board Members have a responsibility to act in good faith and avoid conflicts of interest.

An example of a material conflict of interest affecting a nomination for a Board Member position may include: being an owner or employee of a major supplier to Leederville Gardens Inc.

Term of Office

Board Members are appointed for a three (3) year term. 

Time Commitment

Generally, the commitment to the Board of Management is twelve (12) General Meetings per year, including the Association’s Annual General Meeting with the provision for strategic planning workshops and special meetings from time to time.

Board Members are expected to have read all the relevant Board Papers leading up to each meeting and to actively contribute at meetings. 

As a guide, meetings are generally held in the Clubrooms at the Village, commencing at 5.30pm.

The role of Board Director does require additional commitment from time to time, liaising with the Board Secretary and Advisors.
