Sport NSW Female Leadership Scholarships 2024
As a part of the Female Leadership Project, Sport NSW has developed a targeted course for aspiring female leaders in the sports industry to develop board awareness and skills to support career growth and provide the required foundations to take your step as a board director. The 'Get on Board Program' will combine the Australian Institute of Directors Foundations for Not-for-Profit Directors Course with a practical workshop to develop strategies that turn theory into practice.
Sport NSW is pleased to welcome expressions of interest (EOI) for our 2024 Female Leaders – Get on Board Program. The scholarships provide access for 20 placements in the AICD Governance Foundations for Not-for-Profit Directors Course and board readiness workshop for aspiring female board directors and senior leaders in sport.
What is the AICD NFP Foundations of Directorship program?
The one-and-a-half-day program is tailored to the Not-for-Profit sector and specifically sport to provide aspiring directors with a comprehensive overview of the main components of directorship: governance, finance, and strategy and risk. Whether you’re looking to enhance existing knowledge, stepping up as an executive, or starting out a directorship career, the training provides a unique and interactive learning environment.

What is a board readiness workshop?
The half day practical workshop has been designed specifically to supplement the AICD NFP Course and will give participants practical tips for preparing for a board position or reporting to boards to get the outcome you want. Participants will review career goals, develop a board resume, and board due diligence, reflect on relationships / network, and identify strategies for approaching their next or first board meeting.
Priced at over $3,000 (ex GST), scholarship placements will be provided free of charge to successful program candidates.
