2022 Get on Board Program Scholarships Recipients Announced

As a part of the Sport NSW Increasing Women on Gender Inclusive Boards in NSW Initiative, Sport NSW has developed a pilot program targeted at aspiring female leaders and directors to undertake foundational governance training to support their career aspirations as leaders and directors within the NSW sporting sector. The ‘Get on Board Program’ combines the Australian Institute of Company Directors Foundations for Not-For-Profit Directors Course with a practical board readiness workshop delivered by The Thinking Woman & Co to turn theory into strategic action. Evaluation of the Get on Board pilot program will form part of the overall evaluation of the Increasing Women on Gender Inclusive Boards in NSW Initiative.

Sport NSW is pleased to announce the following recipients of the Sport NSW Female Leaders Get on Board Pilot Program. The 27 participants in the pilot program will include 18 scholarship recipients and 9 of their peers selected directly by their State Sporting Organisation as participants in the Gender Inclusive Boards Workshops Pilot being delivered as a part of the Increasing Women on Gender Inclusive Boards Initiative. The attendees represent NSW State ing Organisations, Not-for-profit sports providers, community sport and sports media.

Sport NSW continues to work with the Australian Institute of Company Directors to provide access to the Foundations for Not-For-Profit Directors Course with the next available course for Sport NSW members, pencilled in for October 2020. If you are interested in attending the course, please email Sheridan at info@sportnsw.com.au for more information.
