Cadet Director Observer Program

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

The annual director development series provides first-hand experience on the Board with the opportunity to contribute to all matters as a non-voting Director of the organisation.

“Here at CCG, we are all about building skills, knowledge and experience to help people and communities thrive – we wanted that to extend all the way to the Board,” said Board Chair, Marianne Shearer. “The cadet program provides a rare opportunity for people to participate in a fully-supported way.”

In addition to participating in monthly meetings, Cadets take part in a range of deep-dive sessions designed to build board member skills and have the opportunity to join specialist sub-committees.

The application process for the Cadet Director Observer Program opens annually in September /October.

The successful applicants will demonstrate passion, innovation, a willingness to learn and complementary skills to bring to the table. Those with experience in business, 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.
