Yet again, our Directors rose to the occasion andwewere reminded how fortunate Housing Choices is to have a Board comprising such highly skilled leaders froma variety of fields and sectors, who are all passionately driven by a shared desire tomake a significant di erence to the lives of Australians struggling to find a home.
Taking time out of their already busy schedules, our Directors met for a highly-focussed, strategic planning session, to review the Australian housing and policy landscape, identify our goals for the next decade and most importantly, establish priorities and review resources; all the while continuing to prudently oversee the ongoing financial management and compliance requirements of what is a complex and highly-regulated business. As well as attending Board and sub-committee meetings, our Directors found time to get out and about; meeting and mingling with sta , residents and key stakeholders at events in Tasmania (below), South Australia and Victoria.
The Board’s commitment to improving and developing sta skills right across our operations doesn’t stop at the boardroom door, with Directors undertaking their own training and development programs to enhance their skills in governance and sector compliance knowledge.
Board members are often asked to attend events as representatives of the organisation. Melbourne-based Director Fabienne Michaux was on hand in June as Victorian Consumer A airs Minister Marlene Kairouz (above left) awarded Housing Choices the $4.9 million Victorian Property Fund (VPF) grant that will enable us to deliver 17 brand new homes in the Melbourne suburbs of Dandenong and Newport.
