Expressions of Interest to become a Director of Kiteboarding Australia 2025

Expressions of Interest to become a Director of Kiteboarding Australia 2025

As a Director of Kiteboarding Australia, you will be expected to demonstrate the experience required to contribute to standard board governance – a basic comfort with finance, budgeting, and the legal requirements of a company director.
 
Beyond this, our volunteer board members bring a passion for sport and some strong specialist skills. While a wide range of skill sets is required, of particular relevance is: 

• Finance and Accounting (Priority)

• Membership and Community Engagement (Priority)

• Legal, Regulatory and Insurance

• Innovation, New Development Areas and Entrepreneurship

• Risk, Safety, Training and Education – including knowledge of kiteboarding safety protocols, teaching developments, risk management and/or performance and pathway development.

This is an opportunity for an experienced professional to enrich further their career as an elected board member of Kiteboarding Australia Limited. Knowledge of Kiteboarding as a sport will be strongly advantageous to your role, although it is not essential.
 
We have strong operational experience on the board and in our General Manager. The requirement is for new directors to bring strong strategic and entrepreneurial talents, which will help us grow participation and engagement.
 
You will be an individual who will act in the best interests of the organisation, sport and community. Commitment to the organisation's strategic direction is a must. Kiteboarding Australia's current Strategic Plan can be found here. 

Board members should be willing to commit themselves and their time to ensuring the success of the organisation. 
 
You will be prepared to attend general board meetings that occur 8 times per year (remote access is viable), the Annual General Meeting and actively participate in committees to help the development of the organisation.

Directors are required to be Members of Kiteboarding Australia. If you are not a current member or have any questions about this, please contact Becky for further advise. 

At KA, we embrace differences in gender, age, ethnicity, race, cultural background, disability, religion and sexual orientation.
