Arts North West Working Towards New Governance Structure in 2018

Following a comprehensive review, Arts North West is updating its Governance structure and moving to a skill-based board.  From May 2018, Arts North West will adopt a two-tier model, a Board of Management of 7-9 members, with a Strategic Advisory Council comprising a representative of each contributing Local Government Authority as well as 4 community arts organisation representatives.

We are looking for people who have strong and effective relationships within our region to fill up to 5 vacancies. Individuals with skills in one or more of the following areas are invited to consider nominating for the Board.

·         Arts, arts practice, arts administration
·         Financial management
·         Governance, business and strategic planning
·         Human resources management
·         Information technology communications
·         Legal expertise in a not-for-profit organisation
·         Local Government
·         Marketing/fundraising
·         Regional community and cultural services development
·         Regional economic and/or tourism development
·         Risk management/insurance

If you are passionate about regional arts and have the capacity to steer and influence this small, yet highly productive organisation, then please consider putting in an application.
