It is important to understand that a board is not a management committee. The details of the day-to-day operation of the business are the responsibility of the CEO and their team. The board has a different and separate role in Governance, which sets the parameters within which the CEO operates.

Composition of the MNSW Board:

• Up to 5 elected Directors.
• Up to 2 independent non-elected directors who may be appointed by the elected directors, under processes outlined in the MNSW Bylaws.
• Each elected director must be a member of MNSW at the time of their nomination for election and must maintain that membership throughout the director’s term of the MNSW Board.

N.B If you wish to apply and are not a current MNSW member, it is straightforward and involves engaging with on of our fantastic clubs. For assistance please contact the CEO to discuss membership before applying.
