Suitable for experienced Directors and governance-trained emerging Board candidates
peoplefusion is partnering with two respected Hunter-based not-for-profit organisations seeking to appoint four Volunteer Non-Executive Directors.

One supports young people to build practical skills and pathways into meaningful employment.
The other delivers home and community-based services that enable individuals to live safely, independently and meaningfully in their own homes and communities.
These are volunteer, unpaid Board appointments.
They provide an opportunity to contribute at a strategic level, broaden your Board experience and support organisations delivering tangible and lasting community impact.
