The Australian Fencing Federation calls for expressions of interest for 2 Independent Director roles to be appointed by the Board with expertise in: 

• Financial management; and
• Marketing, communications and public relations 

The AFF is led by a skills-based board of elected and appointed directors. The Board’s role encompasses the governance of the organisation and providing strategic leadership. 

The AFF strives to support and promote excellence in board service through the recruitment of qualified, experienced directors from diverse backgrounds.  

We want members of the AFF Board to be advocates for fencing across all key strategic imperatives. We want people who can question and challenge constructively, who bring diverse views, who can influence others and find solutions. The AFF is committed to having a diverse and inclusive culture on our Board, in our organisation and in our sport.  

Director positions are voluntary. Board meetings are held on a bi-monthly basis in a combination of video conference and at least one face-to-face meeting per year. 

The Board Search Statement is to advise the broader community of two Director vacancies to be filled by board appointment
