Board of Directors

The Board has established three Sector Advisory Committees (SACs) to support its skills and training advisory work. Each Board member represents and is a member of a SAC. Provision is made for additional sectors to be covered if, in the opinion of the Board, it would promote the objects of the company. Membership to the company is via an organisation and that is aligned to a particular industry sector. Directors are drawn from respective sectors to form the Board, with the organisation nominating their representative. Appointment of Directors is affected at the annual general meeting of members.

Each SAC assists the Board to develop policies and/or advice for industry, government or other associated stakeholder consumption. While the Board may have overall governance responsibilities for the operation and management of the company, it primarily exists to act as an industry training advisory body as its name infers. The work includes facilitating, gathering and providing technical workforce development advice. The Board also provides data and information concerning careers, occupational skills, qualifications and training and assessment in the Utilities and Electrotechnology industry sectors.

The Board also provides each SAC with the opportunity to establish SAC working groups and/or specialist technical expert panels, as required, as a mechanism to help the SAC and the Board augment their industry stakeholder consultative and advisory operations.
