Become part of the non executive and advisory board

To be effective and relevant, we believe it is critical that representatives from business and industry, community leaders, parents, students, and community members from a global perspective all have opportunity to provide input and service on this board. Therefore we would like to form a team of non-executive and advisory board members to give advice and support to the organization.

We previously had a board but have since had to start over and refine a few objectives based on the goals of the NPO.

These positions are not remunerated.

The board is to provide management advice about the direction the organization should follow. You will also be part of a great time that will steer women in digitisation forward, with your expertise.

Benefits

You will be part of a global community that assists women in closing the digitisation gap. You will also be at the frontline of any benefits received from our sponsors, and any partnership opportunities. 

Meeting frequency

The advisory board will meet three times this year virtually, and the non-executive board will meet 6 times a year, with each meeting consisting of two-hour discussions. There may also be some followup questions and discussions by email.

The intended duration of the advisory board

The board membership is a one year renewable position.
