The Board of Directors
One of the tasks for members of the Association is the annual election of the Board, which is comprised of a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, a Treasurer and at least three but no more than five ordinary members, all of whom must be Members of the Association. The Board is responsible for:
-
upholding and advancing the purpose, vision and values of the Association;
-
exercising of the powers of the Association;
-
meeting the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act. day-to-day management and administration of the Association and its services;
-
financial management of the Association including meeting the requirements of funding agreements.
Less formally, being on the Board gives members a direct and active role in Canberra Men's Centre's business, working closely with Directors and other staff to give organisational support, create a forum for reviewing service activities and ensure that practice standards are sound. Most importantly, the Board works with everyone - staff, members, service users and stakeholders to help build and put forward Canberra Men's Centre's vision for services to men in the ACT.
