This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical Board level experience and develop your own skill set, while contributing to Guiding at its highest level.
The Appointed GGA Director for Tasmania is a member of both the GGA and Girl Guides Tasmania (GGT) Boards for three years, helping to govern each organisation and ensure good two-way communication between them.

An appreciation and understanding of the requirements and responsibilities of sitting on the national board of a federated, not-for-profit organisation would be advantageous, although skill development support is available where needed.

Attendance at GGA Board meetings (six per year, mostly in Sydney or via Zoom) and GGT Board meetings either face to face (5 per year, alternating between Hobart and Launceston) or via Zoom (5 per year) is an integral part of this role, together with teleconferences for any subcommittee of GGA to which you are appointed.

A full position description is attached and also available from Guide House, and suitably qualified Members are encouraged to apply.
