The Board Observership Program was established in 2022 to support the disability awareness and confidence of the PSC Advisory Board.
The 2024 Advisory Board Observer is Melanie Jones, Service NSW. Melanie will contribute to discussions in board meetings to help champion the disability community in the NSW public sector and will receive personalised training and mentoring.
Benefits to participating in the program
The observer will contribute to overcoming the structural and attitudinal barriers that limit diversity on boards while developing their expertise in board directorship to help further their career. Through attendance, targeted training, and mentorship, they will build the skills needed to feel confident in a boardroom and foster their professional network.
The observer will receive:
- the opportunity to attend PSC Advisory Board meetings and contribute to discussions, including exposure to policy and strategic direction processes.
- external training: from the Disability Leadership Institute covering key concepts exploring the fundamentals of disability leadership.
- executive mentoring with the Board’s Senior Leadership Teams and Members to deepen the observer’s knowledge of the business as well as specific topics and areas of interest.
