ActionAid is looking for a woman from the Papua New Guinean community in Sydney to join our Project Steering Committee. It doesn’t matter whether you are studying, working or looking after a family, if you have an interest in climate change and/or women’s issues, we would like to have you on board our Project Steering Committee!
The purpose of the Steering Committee is to provide strategic guidance and input into ActionAid’s research project on climate change and women’s rights in Melanesia. The Committee will meet at ActionAid’s office in Camperdown on an ‘as-needs basis’ until November 2011.
Current members include: ActionAid CEO and Board members, University of Sydney academics and an environmental scientist from the Solomon Islands.
The next meeting is planned for the first week of June and will go for about 1.5 hours. Telephone or skype access can be arranged for those who are not able to attend meetings in person.
Participation is voluntary and travel costs will be covered by ActionAid. Although those who live in Sydney are preferred, we welcome applications from people living outside of Sydney and other parts of Australia.
If you would like to join ActionAid’s Project Steering Committee, please apply by using the comment box below and tell us in no more than 50 words why you would like to participate. Tenku tru!
