Board Members

Playgroup Victoria is seeking to appoint Non-Executive Directors to their established governing Board. This is an excellent opportunity for suitably qualified and experienced individuals to join a passionate team on a voluntary basis, and help develop and shape an exciting future for playgroups. Essential skills include the ability to think and influence strategically and a capacity to work collaboratively with other Board members and the CEO. Most importantly, the successful candidates will demonstrate a clear understanding of and passion for the work that playgroups do for children, families and the broader community. A commitment to the strategic vision and values of Playgroup Victoria, as well as knowledge of not-for-profit and the community services sectors and experience with fund-raising, is required. An AICD qualification would be highly regarded. Appointments will be made based upon the need to ensure that there is an appropriate mix of skills, experience and diversity on the Board. While the Board currently boasts a diverse range of experience, we are specifically seeking skills, abilities and experience in one or more of the following areas: • Marketing and Corporate sponsorships • Fundraising • IT Those appointed would need to be able to commit the necessary time to satisfactorily meet their responsibilities (estimated time commitment is Board meeting attendance to be held in Melbourne once every 6 weeks, as well as the occasional meeting in between and other board and committee work).
