ANHLC welcomes Board nominations from people with a commitment to develop the Association and the Neighbourhood House and Learning Centre Sector. Staff, committee of management members and volunteers are welcome to nominate. It is not necessary to have spent years in the sector to nominate for the Board; ANHLC welcomes a mix of perspectives from both newcomers and old hands.  The only criteria for Board eligibility is that the nominee represent a full financial member of ANHLC.

If you or your organisation would like to refer a member to be part of the ANHLC Board download and complete the attached Referral Card and return it to ANHLC.  A formal call for nominations takes place in October, prior to the AGM each year, but ANHLC welcomes interest from the sector all year round.
