Any further information about this vacancy:

The Agricultural Bureau of South Australia has connected farmers and rural communities since 1888. Today we're a member-owned network of 34 volunteer-run branches across regional South Australia. In 2025 our members voted to rebuild the organisation, and the board is now delivering a new strategy, Strategy 2026+.

Our branches are the heart of the Bureau, and they need support. We're looking for a board member with community engagement or communications experience to help members feel connected to their branch, to each other and to the Bureau.

You would:

  • lead the board's thinking on member engagement, retention and support for branches
  • help encourage new and younger members to step into branch leadership roles
  • help shape how we communicate with members, including our AgChat newsletter, social media and website
  • help tell the Bureau's story and share branch stories across the state

Experience with rural or agricultural communities, membership organisations, newsletters, social media or media relations would be a real advantage.

Board terms are three years. We meet monthly online (weekday evenings), with some face-to-face meetings each year. Sitting fees are set by members at the AGM, and travel is reimbursed. You don't need to be a member already: the Bureau will cover your membership if you're selected.
