Our People / Governance
Who runs Families of Veterans Guild?
The Families of Veterans Guild is run by the board of directors of Australian War Widows NSW Ltd.
Our board is comprised of 6 elect directors and 3 appointed directors.
The board focuses on the effective governance of the company, including strategic direction, reputation, finance, compliance and risk management.
The board’s role
Our directors are accountable to the members of the organisation. They are required to provide annual audited accounts and a report of the organisation’s activities to the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC), in addition to providing access to the latest annual audited report.
Information about the organisation’s finances and activities, and governance documents are publicly available on the organisations’ ACNC profile.
While the organisation retains the position of State President, this position isn’t akin to Board chair, it is a ceremonial and symbolic position which focused on undertaking representational duties for the Board for example at commemorative events or engaging with members.
