Act for Peace is seeking expressions of interest for additional Board Directors to help guide the organisation through its next strategic chapter.
Act for Peace has worked for more than 75 years alongside communities affected by conflict, displacement and disaster. As global conflict, displacement and social fragmentation intensify, Act for Peace is entering an important new strategic chapter —strengthening its role as a movement for peace, justice and belonging through locally led partnerships, public engagement, advocacy and collective action.
With a newly appointed Chief Executive Officer and a refined strategic direction, Act for Peace is seeking additional Board Directors to help steward this next phase of organisational evolution, governance and impact. We are looking for leaders who can contribute to values-led governance, organisational transformation, advocacy, partnerships, movement mobilisation and public engagement.
As the humanitarian agency of the National Council of Churches in Australia, Board Directors are drawn from Christian faith traditions and communities. We strongly encourage expressions of interest from people with diverse professional, cultural, geographic and lived experience backgrounds.
The Board meets approximately five times annually through a combination of online and in-person meetings. Directors are also expected to participate in one Board committee. Board service is voluntary and non-remunerated, with reasonable expenses reimbursed in accordance with organisational policy.
