We have four vacancies on Council for the three year term commencing 1 May 2025 and we invite nominations from full members (Fellows (FCT) and Associate Members (AMCT)).
The ACT has a vibrant and diverse community of members working in treasury and treasury-related roles and it's important that its governing body - the ACT Council - reflects this diversity and consists of individuals with a varied mix of skills, experience and perspectives. We therefore welcome nominations from members across different sectors, locations and levels of seniority (including those at an earlier stage of their treasury career) who will enable the ACT to fulfil its purpose, visions and mission and deliver its strategic plans.
Each year, Council considers any areas of additional expertise that it would be useful to have, either by election or co-option. Areas highlighted this year include experience and skills in:
This list in not intended to be exhaustive, and nominations from members with any or none of the above specialisms will be welcome.
We encourage any members with the time and enthusiasm to help shape the future of the treasury profession to consider standing for election to Council. In return, you will receive an incredibly fulfilling experience that will also support your own professional development, provide experience working at board and non-executive level, build your professional network, raise your profile and strengthen your professional confidence and experience.
What's involved?
The Council term is for three years although some Council members go on to become Officers of the ACT which extends the term for a further four years. Candidates should be open to the possibility of progressing to an Officer role.
