ProfessionaLE: Joining a board of directors

Joining a board of an organisation with a purpose you are passionate about is a great way to influence the strategic direction of the organisation. Unless you have had specific governance training, joining a board can be a daunting task that has legal consequences. Join Hayley as she chats with Graeme Holdsworth about their experiences working with others on a board of directors. In an informal Q&A style session, we will discuss what a board does, the roles and responsibilities of different members of the board, and where to find opportunities to participate and build your skills.

By the end of the session you will understand how you can bring your lived experience to the board table and influence to make broad change.

This session is part of a series of monthly conversations to empower you to professionalise your lived experience. CriticLE is partnering with leaders who use their lived experiences to make change in the suicide prevention sector. The ProfessionaLE sessions are for anyone who wants to do more with their lived experience work and for anyone who wants to partner with people with lived experience.

Join us as we learn by experience.
