Where to start the search for board roles…

I consolidate lots of board roles and post them to Take on Board Facebook group, so it’s a great way of keeping an eye on most of these sites, all in one place.

One of the first Take on Board breakfasts. A group of fabulous women sit around tables listening to governance tips and tips on where to search for board roles.

Here are a few of my favourite sites for finding the right board role:

For not-for-profit directorships:

If you are a member of the following, they have listings:

For Government board roles:

Other:

  • Board Direction for vacancies across commercial, government and Not for not-for-profit sectors

And if you are keen on board roles, you might be interested in my Take on Board: Kickstarter (for aspiring women directors) or Take on Board: Accelerator (for experienced women directors) group programs.

Please feel free to let me know any others that you know of  feel free to send me an email.

Hello! I’m Helga.

I’m a facilitator, coach and governance nerd who helps directors and aspiring board members be better leaders. In 2019, I asked myself: “What do women need to be their best in the boardroom?” and the Take on Board podcast was born, which quickly grew into a vibrant community whose collective wisdom I draw on to share insights.

Whether you’re aspiring to be a board director or already have a few chairs under your belt – this is a space to learn from likeminded leaders and find ways to elevate your impact in the boardroom.

If you’re preparing for your first board role or looking to bring fresh thinking to the table, I’d love to help. Get to know me better or explore my programs designed to kickstart and accelerate your board journey.
