Transparency International Australia Chair Opportunity
Transparency International is a global movement which plays a leading role in combating corruption. It works with government, business, civil society and citizens to stop the abuse of power, bribery and secret deals which are widely recognised to be serious impediments to economic development and a de-stabilising social force.
Transparency International Australia (TIA) is one of more than 100 national chapters worldwide. TIA has been operating as an accredited Transparency International chapter since 1995, focusing on ways in which Government and Australian-based companies and institutions can address corruption issues.
The TIA Board guides the organisation’s strategy, growth, and direction and ensures compliance with board duties and obligations. The Board is responsible for operating in a manner that is consistent with, and contributes to, the global Transparency International movement. The Board of TIA is looking to appoint a new Chair.
The Chair’s primary role is to lead the TIA Board and set the governance standards for the organisation. The Chair, working closely with the CEO, will champion the work of TIA with key stakeholders, including government, business, civil society and the media. The Chair will support and engage with the global TI movement.
In addition to an understanding of the Chair’s legal and fiduciary responsibilities, candidates will need expertise in at least one of the following areas: international development, bribery/ financial crimes, government relations, fundraising, finance and risk management. They will also need high-level inclusive communication skills and a sophisticated understanding of governance and strategic planning.
The Board meets four or five times a year in Melbourne, Sydney or Canberra.
