VFBV Board Members bring their background skills and knowledge to contribute to debate at Board Meetings. Board Members also network with others about policies and issues management. They are not only involved in making decisions but they are also prepared to promote Board decisions to others for the benefit of all CFA volunteers. At present, Board meetings are held on a monthly basis, normally on a week day approximately from 10.00am to 3.00pm.
Four positions on the Board become vacant every year in September. A panel of rural members of the State Council Executive Committee and a panel of urban members of the State Council Executive Committee will each select two members for appointment to the Board each year and fill any vacancies which may occur throughout the year. The selection process involves calling for applications, receiving written applications and interviewing short listed applicants. The decision may take into account the combination of knowledge and backgrounds of the applicants. Retiring Board Members may seek re-appointment by submitting a new application.
Each State Council Executive Committee panel will appoint the successful candidates following the above process.
Board Members are usually appointed for two years.
The VFBV Board will meet regularly and meetings will be scheduled as required, probably on a monthly basis. Board Members would be expected to read Board papers and be available for direct contact by volunteers to discuss issues.
This is an honorary position. Out of pocket travel and accommodation expenses to attend necessary meetings will be reimbursed. An allowance to contribute to telephone and internet expenses will be provided.
Written applications for appointment to the VFBV Board can be addressed to:
