CFA Board Vacancies

The terms of CFA Board Members Peter Marke and David Gibbs are to end in early 2009, creating vacancies on the CFA Board for two positions that are nominated by the Volunteer Associations as per the CFA Act.

Senior Members of urban and rural brigades who believe they have the capacity to make a contribution to the Board of the CFA, and ensure that the interests of the volunteers are maintained at the highest level of the organisation, are invited to apply for the respective vacancies.

From the applications received, and following interviews, VFBV will submit names in priority order to the Minister for Police & Emergency Services, for him to select the two members for appointment to the CFA Board.

The CFA Board meets on a monthly basis and also operates a committee system which could require a commitment of one half day per month. Attendance at official functions would also be expected.

The two appointments to the CFA Board would be from 14th April 2009 for a period of up to three years; the retiring members are eligible for re-appointment when their term expires.

Remuneration for a member of the CFA Board is $11,679 p.a.
