Board of Directors
The board drives our direction and ensures all member and community needs are heard and considered.
The Board of Directors can have up to 12 members, with representatives from each of the communities on Jawoyn land. It is overseen by a Chair and Deputy Chair. The Board meets regularly, and on request for special meetings.
After listening to Jawoyn people, the Board of Directors has taken strong action in 2013. This includes the completion of the Association’s first major corporate restructure since 1985. The Board of Directors has also recommitted to focusing on the Jawoyn Association’s core values of looking after country, cultural maintenance and economic development.
The Board remains conscious of the need to balance decision-making with the needs and interests of the members and the financial security of the Jawoyn Association and its group of companies.
This year the Board will also be trialling ways to improve communications with its members. The Board believes it is vital that the membership is kept properly informed of developments and changes initiated by the Association.
