Tennis West is currently seeking nominations from suitably qualified and experienced persons to fill two elected director positions, both for a three-year term, in accordance with the recently updated Tennis West Constitution.
The independent candidates will require one or more of the following three priority skills and experience:
Leadership and Board Experience
Must demonstrate a proven track record of strategic leadership and governance within complex organisational environments. This includes experience in setting and overseeing strategic direction, ensuring robust risk management, and fostering a culture of accountability and performance. Additionally, you must possess a deep understanding of board responsibilities, including fiduciary duties, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with regulatory frameworks. Prior board or executive-level experience in sport, community, or corporate sectors is highly valued, along with the ability to contribute to collaborative decision-making and uphold the values and vision of Tennis West.
Tennis Knowledge and Experience
Bring a meaningful connection to the sport of tennis, whether through competitive play, coaching, officiating, administration, or community engagement. On-court experience may include participation at club, state, or national levels, providing valuable insight into the athlete and club journey. Off-court experience encompasses contributions to tennis development, club or association administration or event management within tennis organisations. A strong appreciation for the sport’s culture, challenges, and opportunities is essential, along with a commitment to advancing tennis across Western Australia through inclusive and sustainable initiatives.
Stakeholder Engagement and Strategic Thinking
Must possess the ability to build and sustain meaningful relationships with diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, Tennis Australia and WA business connections. This involves having strong strategic acumen, with the ability to think critically, anticipate future challenges, and contribute to long-term planning that advances the organisation’s purpose. Directors should be capable of balancing short-term priorities with long-term vision, applying sound judgment and data-informed insights to guide strategic initiatives. A collaborative mindset and the ability to pursue opportunities constructively is essential to shaping Tennis West’s future in a dynamic sporting landscape.
