Are you an
expert in learning and development pathways with a passion for strengthening
local government leadership? LG Professionals SA is seeking a dedicated Board
Member to help drive strategic initiatives that empower local government
professionals through education and skill-building opportunities.
What
You’ll Bring
- Extensive knowledge in workforce training,
career development and professional learning
- Demonstrated experience in higher education and vocational education
environments and pathways
- A strong strategic mindset, with the ability to
distil ideas into action
- A collaborative mindset, passion and vision
for the development of people and the future of the local government sector.
Your
expertise will guide us in creating forward thinking development pathways that
foster career growth and excellence in public service.
While
previous Board experience is not a requirement for the role, applicants should
be comfortable working in a collaborative decision-making environment and
confidently able to share their knowledge and provide advice in relation to the
future of learning and development, and other Board strategic priorities. Six
Board Meetings are held annually, with Members actively involved in Association
activities throughout the year. A connection to and understanding of local
government is important, but you need not be working in the sector.
I invite you to nominate here to represent your peers as a volunteer on the
LG Professionals SA Board for a two-year term. Nominations must be received by
12 noon on Friday 18 July 2025.
Nominations will be assessed by the Nominations Committee
of the LG Professionals SA Board, with interviews between the Nominations Committee
and shortlisted candidates held in August 2025. Up to two shortlisted candidates
may be invited to meet with the full LG Professionals SA Board in September
2025 after which time the successful nominee may be appointed. Reference checks
may be conducted as part of the process. Considering its exceptional nature, it
is not necessary to make an appointment.
If you would like to discuss what’s involved in being a
Board Member, please feel encouraged to contact me directly on 0448 490 027.
This invitation to
nominate as a new Board Member is in accordance with clauses 10.2.1.3 and 10.2.4
of the LG Professionals SA Constitution which allows for the Board to appoint
Independent Skills-based Board Members.
