The role of serving on a board, whether for a public company, private company, or nonprofit organization, is one of significant responsibility and influence. As a board member, you play a crucial role in overseeing and advising the entity to ensure its optimal functioning and compliance with legal and ethical standards.

Before accepting a board position, it is essential to conduct thorough research and due diligence. Understanding the organization's values, goals, and potential challenges is vital to fulfilling your duties effectively.

As part of the updated Australian Institute of Company Directors Not-for-Profit Governance Principles, we provide guidance on practical ways that boards can elevate the client voice into their governance structures and decision-making. Recruiting board directors with lived experience is the most direct mechanism to ensure the client perspective is heard around the boardroom. One example is Canteen Australia where the majority of board directors consists of Member Directors (young people), including the Chairperson. This ensures that young people continue to have a voice at all levels of the organisation since Canteen was founded by a group of young cancer patients in 1985.
