Canterbury Basketball is seeking applications for Board Members, including an Independent Chair.

Board Members are appointed or elected for three year terms, and can serve for a maximumm of two consecutive terms.
The Board is comprised of seven members, and there are potentially three vacancies at the next AGM in March 2018 (1 by appointment, 2 subject to election).

Organisational Details:
The Canterbury Basketball Association is responsible for the administration of amateur basketball within the greater Christchurch Region. The CBA serves over 6500 registered players, and 200 volunteer referees, coaches and administrators. The CBA administers primary and high school competitions, a 120 team weekend club competition, a representative program from u13 through to u23, and the Alloyfold Canterbury Wildcats team in the Women’s Basketball Championship. The CBA also works closely with the Canterbury Regional Basketball Foundation (Rams) who deliver a number of representative and training programmes on behalf of the CBA. In addition, the CBA runs referee and coach development programs, in-school and after school skills sessions,
and a social inclusion program called Midnight Basketball. The CBA currently has a staff of five, and operates from an office at the Bishopdale YMCA. The CBA is in a very sound financial position, and is coming to the end of its current threeyear Strategic Plan in 2018.

Characteristics, skills and competencies sought:
The CBA seeks applications from individuals with proven governance skills to further enhance the performance of the CBA and its board. Expertise in governance or the legal or HR sectors would be an advantage, but candidates are sought that can contribute strategically and innovatively to our board. A passion for
basketball or sport and recreation in the Canterbury region is essential.

Commitment:
The Board meets 10 times per year, with meetings including board-only time and a focus on strategic matters. Board sub-committees meet 2-3 times per year to assist with the distribution of workload among board members, effectively utilise different skills on the board, and efficiently deal with board matters. Board administration and performance is guided by an established strategic plan, and a board manual which includes governance policies and a statement of expectations of board members.

Remuneration: Unpaid
