About Women in Technology (WiT)

Women in Technology (WiT) is one of Australia's biggest communities that support women in across all fields of science and technology. As a not-for­profit organisation, we exist solely to create opportunities for our members and provide a dynamic platform to empower women from all disciplines to unlock their career potential in STEM.

For more than two decades, we have helped women find the inspiration and support they need to achieve their aspirations and, in doing so, we are helping our community take full advantage of the outstanding talent, energy and capacity they bring to our emerging digital economy.

To further our mission, WiT is inviting expressions of interest from passionate volunteers who champion our values and purpose to fill two to three volunteer Board vacancies.

Non-Executive Director Opportunities (2-3 appointments)

These are voluntary roles, and WiT welcomes applicants from all over Australia. In addition to looking for people working in any of the science, technology, engineering and math sectors, our Board has identified certain other skills and experiences that would be valuable additions to our Board.The selected individuals will actively contribute to our growth, oversee the organisation’s performance, and ensure that we meet our strategic objectives and operational outcomes.

In addition to people working in STEM, we encourage individuals with skills, knowledge, and experience in some of the following areas to apply:

· Policy and Governance

· Financial management

· Membership or association growth

· Human Resources

· Experience working with not for profit entities

· Non-executive director experience

Time commitment

Directors are expected to participate in Board meetings and be a member of at least one Committee. Meetings are a mix of virtual and face to face meetings. The commitment is estimated at approximately 10 hours per month and includes meetings (of either the Board or Committees), meeting preparation, and participation in other organisational activities as required.

Applicants are invited from across Australia and are not restricted to Queensland where our head office is located. Send your expression of interest to ebony.worth@wit.org.au by 16 January 2025.
