2 Call for nominations for the Member Elected Directors of the BNSW Board

We call for nominations for directors of the BNSW Board to be elected by members at the 2024 AGM.

There are two (2) member elected director positions available for election at the 2024 AGM.  One of those positions are a result of directors retiring following the expiry of their term and are not seeking re-election and one (1) position is a result of the increase in Board membership following the adoption of the new Constitution in November 2023.

Accordingly, we call for nominations for directors to fill those two (2) vacancies for 3-year terms each.

All nominations must be lodged using the nomination form with requested support material and submitted via email to companysecretary@bnsw.com.au by 5:00 pm Friday 22 March 2024.

Please note that this year the Nominations Committee will be chaired by Carolyn Campbell, currently director of Volleyball Australia, NSW Rugby League and Bankstown Sports Club (formerly Chair of Sports NSW).  The Nominations Committee will focus on director attributes and skill category requirements to bolster the Board’s effectiveness to implement and oversee its Strategy, as well as, ensuring basketball community representation.
