Are you the next WBII treasurer? This is a crucial role focused on the structure and running of the WBII’s finances and operations.
The WBII Board:
The Executive Board consists of committed members, each taking specific responsibilities to support the WBII.

We meet monthly at our Board Meetings to establish, review and implement the business strategy of the WBII, ensuring that the organisation is on track and sustainable. We aim to have between 6 and 8 members on the board, each bringing in specific skills.
What we are looking for:
We are looking for a new member to join the board to oversee the financial operations of the organization. For this position we are looking for a structured and analytical person who is able to fulfil a financial position. The role will involve working closely with the office manager who runs the daily affairs, and liaising with the accountant on tax returns.
