We are currently looking for 2 new members who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. This will be very important to guide us in our new direction of funding LGBTIQA+ First Nations work over the next few years.

We are in the very early stages of this process. Our steps at this stage look like this:

• Interview prospective applicants to the 2 board positions
• Appoint the 2 positions
• Convene a board strategic planning workshop to set our purpose in this new area and initial engagement strategy for national consultations

The commitment would at the least be attending our board meetings via zoom for 90 minutes every 6 weeks (Monday evenings) and attending the planning workshop – likely at a weekend again via zoom.
