Pride WA is seeking expressions of interest from passionate and skilled individuals to join its Board of Directors in a voluntary, non-executive capacity. The Board is aware of areas that are lacking and, therefore, is particularly keen to hear from individuals who bring diverse lived experience and perspectives. Board members play a vital role in shaping Pride WA’s strategic direction and ensuring the organisation continues to represent and advocate for the full diversity of our communities.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute your skills and experience to one of Western Australia’s most vibrant and visible community organisations. Board Members will serve until the next AGM (approx. Dec 2026), with formal election then required at that AGM. Directors are generally expected to attend monthly Board meetings (in person or online), General Meetings (including the AGM) (in person or online), and actively participate in Board subcommittees and Pride WA events. Reasonable flexibility will be provided in recognition of directors’ other personal and professional commitments.
Pride WA’s mission, vision, and principal purpose are to encourage and promote community, culture and the arts in Western Australia by celebrating the diversity, unique talents, and identities of our sexual and gender-diverse community. We promote our mission through events, advocacy, and outreach.
