The deadline for the Governance Review Group has been extended by one week, as all existing applicants are men over the age of 30. It should be reiterated that applicants must have an in-depth knowledge and experience of IFM-SEI structures.
Overview
The IFM-SEI Presidium has never been as active as would be expected from the core governance body of an organisation and have not taken ownership over the strategy and work plan and financial accountability of the organisation. This has led to a lack of accountability of the Secretariat and decreased internal democracy. Therefore a governance review will be implemented during this mandate (2016-19) in order to review the governance structures to see if a proposal can be developed for Congress 2019 to increase the effectiveness and accountability of our statutory bodies. The Governance Review Group will meet virtually and be in place until IFM-SEI Congress 2019.
Role of the Governance Review Group
- - Analyse current strengths and weaknesses of the different governance bodies in IFM-SEI
- - Review the current role descriptions and terms of reference for elected positions in IFM-SEI
- - Conduct a consultation with different stakeholders in IFM-SEI on the governance review
- - Collate best practices from the wider voluntary and youth sectors in terms of governance
- - Come up with new and innovative ways to enhance IFM-SEI's governance bodies and supporting documents
- - Present a proposal to the IFM-SEI Congress 2019 with the outcome(s) of the group and/or proposals for a new system
