The roles and responsibilities of Directors are vital to effective governance on behalf of our members.
The broader strategic environment provides the focus for any Board. For example, it sets the organisation’s goals, and oversees the way the resources are managed, ensuring that it can achieve those goals.
The core functions of a Board include:
determining, reviewing and maintaining the vision, purpose and values of the organisation
approval of annual budgets
risk oversight including compliance with legal obligations (e.g. ASIC, taxation, Superannuation and Workplace Health & Safety)
supporting effective engagement with key stakeholders
Other duties that are specific to the Board of the AASW are outlined in the Board Charter.
