Cadet Director Observer Program

As part of our ongoing commitment to developing skills and knowledge in local leaders, CCG invites two people each year to join the Cadet Director Observer Program.

Cadets are fully supported in their development through the provision of on-on-one mentoring with one of our experienced Directors and structured learning modules on a range of relevant topics. These modules are designed to help Cadets build the skills and knowledge required to become a board director.

The Program also provides a unique opportunity to gain first-hand experience on a board of directors with full participation in meetings as a Non-Voting Director. In addition to participating in regular Board meetings, Cadets are encouraged to participate in specialist sub-committee meetings to gain the best understanding of how the Board functions.

The application process for the Cadet Director Observer Program opens annually in May/June. Cadets commence the Program by attending a meet and greet with the Board and outgoing Cadets in December. This is an opportunity to get to know your CCG Board colleagues and interact with outgoing Cadets.

Successful applicants will demonstrate passion, innovation, a willingness to learn and bring complementary skills and experience. Those with experience in business, education/industry, community, advocacy or philanthropy will be viewed favourably. People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those who have experience with disability are encouraged to apply.

CCG is a Child Safe organisation and has zero tolerance for child abuse or harm.
