Funded by the Victorian Government, the scholarships are for the Australian Institute of Company Directors’ course and are available to women who are directors of not-for-profit boards that currently receive state government funding.
Women’s Affairs Minister Mary Wooldridge has encouraged women from across Victoria to consider applying for a scholarship to enhance their board expertise and skills.
“We recognise there is a need for more women on boards,” Wooldridge said.
“This course is highly regarded and will enhance the knowledge and skills of participants, making them better directors in their current roles and preparing them for further directorships in the future.”
“It will also strengthen the governance of the non-profit boards of which these women are currently directors.”
The Victorian Women’s Governance Scholarship is a joint initiative of the Victorian Government and the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
