Kokatha Aboriginal Corporation (KAC) is proud to announce that our Directors, Carly Chamberlain and Chereena Amos, have been selected for the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) First Nations Director Scholarship Program!
This prestigious program, delivered in partnership with the Australian Indigenous Governance Institute (AIGI), is funded by the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) and aims to strengthen First Nations leadership in governance.
As scholarship recipients, Carly and Chereena will participate in:
The AICD’s Foundations of Directorship – Indigenous Organisations course. Mentoring with experienced leaders through AIGI. 12 months of AICD membership to continue their governance journey.This is a fantastic opportunity to build stronger governance skills and ensure Kokatha voices continue to be heard.
Carly and Chereena were two of just 56 scholars selected for the current round of the First Nations Director Scholarship, which kicked off with a four-day intensive training workshop in Brisbane last week.
As Kokatha leaders, they’re passionate about creating strong foundations for KAC through robust governance.
Carly and Chereena say they’re both extremely grateful to their fellow Directors and the Corporation for supporting them to do this important training.
Congratulations, Carly and Chereena! We look forward to seeing the impact of your positive leadership on the Kokatha community.Pictured – Chereena (left) and Carly (right) with course facilitator David Evans.
