EOI: Two Independent Members for Governance, Risk & Nominations Committee

The Board of Hockey NSW is seeking to appoint two Independent Members to the Governance, Risk & Nominations Committee.

• Reviewing and recommending improvements to Hockey NSW’s governance framework, Constitution and Board policies.
• Overseeing organisational risk management, excluding financial risk (which sits with the Finance & Audit Committee).
• Supporting Board renewal through nominations, succession planning, and Director induction.
• Overseeing Hockey NSW’s policy framework, including adoption of Hockey Australia and Sport Integrity Australia integrity policies, and the maintenance of a Policy Register.

Term & Commitment

• Independent Members are appointed for a term of up to 2 years, subject to annual review.
• The Committee will meet at least three times per year, with meetings held virtually or in Sydney.
• This is a voluntary position; reasonable expenses may be reimbursed in line with Hockey NSW policy.
