by Positive Money

Positive Money is looking for new board members to join our board of directors who can make a significant and positive contribution to the governance of the organisation.

Description of the role:

As a director of Positive Money you will be supporting a project that addresses fundamental flaws in the economy, and promoting changes that will have impacts on inequality, indebtedness, economic stability, and the environment.

You will use your skills and expertise to go to the root of the problems in today’s society that have the maximum impact. We are involved in pioneering work and are the leading group working on this issue worldwide.

Primary duties:

All board directors are responsible for the following statutory duties:

  • To ensure that Positive Money complies with its governing document and relevant legislation or regulations.
  • To ensure that Positive Money pursues its objectives as defined in its governing document.
  • To ensure Positive Money uses its resources exclusively in pursuance of its objects.

  • Scrutinising board papers
  • Leading discussions, focusing on key issues and providing guidance on new initiatives
  • Other issues in which the director has special expertise

Commitment

Directors are expected to attend at least eight London-based board meetings per year (approx three hours each) including an AGM

Attendance of other important related meetings may also be needed. This is a voluntary post although some reimbursement for travel expenses is available.
