Expressions of Interest (EOI) are invited for the Yued Aboriginal Corporation Emerging Leadership Program.
About the Program
Good governance is the foundation of a successful organisation, and it is essential that we empower our members to sustain these strong principles within Yued AC. We recognise that securing a board position can be challenging for those without prior board experience. It is for this reason that Yued AC has established the Emerging Leadership Program, providing members with an opportunity to develop governance knowledge and gain the experience needed to take on future leadership roles.
The Emerging Leadership Program has been established to provide participants with the opportunity to develop practical leadership, governance and business management skills, while gaining valuable insight into the executive operations of an Aboriginal corporation. The program aims to equip and prepare emerging leaders with knowledge, skills and experience to contribute to the future growth, strength and success of YAC.
What the Program Offers
Members selected to participate in this program in accordance with rule 12.1(b) will be:
supported and mentored by the Board;
provided governance training;
invited to attend Board meetings;
and given the opportunity to contribute to Board decision making processes.
Role of Emerging Leaders
Emerging Leaders are not Directors but are expected to demonstrate professionalism, act in good faith, maintain confidentiality, and understand the governance responsibilities associated with their role. Participation in Board meetings is subject to the discretion of the Chairperson or Board.
Appointment and Remuneration
Yued AC may appoint up to two Emerging Leaders for a one-year term, with the opportunity for reappointment. Successful applicants will be appointed by the Board in accordance with Yued AC's Emerging Leadership Policy and will receive remuneration as determined by the Board.
Applications close 3 December 2026.
